On conditions for evolutionary stability for a continuously varying character

FB Christiansen - The American Naturalist, 1991 - journals.uchicago.edu

Evolutionary and continuous stability

I Eshel - Journal of theoretical Biology, 1983 - Elsevier
A strategy in a population game is evolutionarily stable if, when adopted by large enough a
