Abstract
By introducing a non-Euclidean metric on the unit simplex, it is possible to identify an interesting class of gradient systems within the ubiquitous "replicator equations" of evolutionary biomathematics. In the case of homogeneous potentials, this leads to maximum principles governing the increase of the average fitness, both in population genetics and in chemical kinetics.
This research was carried out as part of the Dynamics of Macrosystems Feasibility Study in the System and Decision Sciences Program.
