A derivation of Holling's type I, II and III functional responses in predator–prey systems

JHP Dawes, MO Souza - Journal of theoretical biology, 2013 - Elsevier
Predator–prey dynamics is most simply and commonly described by Lotka–Volterra-type
ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for continuous population density variables in the limit …

The replicator dynamics for multilevel selection in evolutionary games

DB Cooney - Journal of mathematical biology, 2019 - Springer
We consider a stochastic model for evolution of group-structured populations in which
interactions between group members correspond to the Prisoner's Dilemma or the Hawk …

Initial-boundary value problems for conservative Kimura-type equations: solvability, asymptotic and conservation law

M Chugunova, R Taranets, N Vasylyeva - Journal of Evolution Equations, 2023 - Springer
We consider the linear degenerate parabolic equation∂ u∂ t-xa 0 (x, t)∂ 2 u∂ x 2+ a 1 (x,
t)∂ u∂ x+ a 2 (x, t) u= f (x, t) originated from pandemic dynamics modeling. Under suitable …

Fixation in large populations: a continuous view of a discrete problem

FACC Chalub, MO Souza - Journal of mathematical biology, 2016 - Springer
We study fixation in large, but finite, populations with two types, and dynamics governed by
birth-death processes. By considering a restricted class of such processes, which includes …

Discrete and continuous SIS epidemic models: a unifying approach

FACC Chalub, MO Souza - Ecological complexity, 2014 - Elsevier
The susceptible-infective-susceptible (SIS) epidemiological scheme is the simplest
description of the dynamics of a disease that is contact-transmitted, and that does not lead to …

The characteristic trajectory of a fixing allele: a consequence of fictitious selection that arises from conditioning

L Zhao, M Lascoux, ADJ Overall, D Waxman - Genetics, 2013 - academic.oup.com
This work is concerned with the historical progression, to fixation, of an allele in a finite
population. This progression is characterized by the average frequency trajectory of alleles …

The path integral formula for the stochastic evolutionary game dynamics

M Li, K An, C Liu, Y Tao, C Wang… - Europhysics Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Although the long-term behavior of stochastic evolutionary game dynamics in finite
populations has been fully investigated, its evolutionary characteristics in a limited period of …

Gradient flow formulations of discrete and continuous evolutionary models: a unifying perspective

FACC Chalub, L Monsaingeon, AM Ribeiro… - Acta Applicandae …, 2021 - Springer
We consider three classical models of biological evolution:(i) the Moran process, an
example of a reducible Markov Chain;(ii) the Kimura Equation, a particular case of a …

On the stochastic evolution of finite populations

FACC Chalub, MO Souza - Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2017 - Springer
This work is a systematic study of discrete Markov chains that are used to describe the
evolution of a two-types population. Motivated by results valid for the well-known Moran (M) …

A Markov chain model to investigate the spread of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria in hospitals

FACC Chalub, A Gómez‐Corral… - Studies in Applied …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Ordinary differential equation models used in mathematical epidemiology assume explicitly
or implicitly large populations. For the study of infections in a hospital, this is an extremely …
