Adaptive evolution driven by such frequency-dependent fitness functions can be analyzed effectively using adaptive dynamics theory, assuming rare mutation and asexual reproduction. When possible mutations are restricted to certain directions due to developmental, physiological, or physical constraints, the resulting adaptive evolution may be restricted to subspaces (constraint surfaces) with fewer dimensionalities than the original trait spaces. To analyze such dynamics along constraint surfaces efficiently, we develop a Lagrange multiplier method in the framework of adaptive dynamics theory. On constraint surfaces of arbitrary dimensionalities described with equality constraints, our method efficiently finds local evolutionarily stable strategies, convergence stable points, and evolutionary branching points. We also derive the conditions for the existence of evolutionary branching points on constraint surfaces when the shapes of the surfaces can be chosen freely. date: 2016-10-21 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier id_number: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2016.07.011 creators_browse_id: 267 full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Theoretical Biology volume: 407 pagerange: 409-428 refereed: TRUE issn: 0022-5193 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Ito, H. & Sasaki, A.
