Extinction versus unbounded growth
Certain Markov processes, or deterministic evolution equations, have the property that they are dual to a stochastic process that exhibits extinction versus unbounded growth, i.e., the total mass in such a process either becomes zero, or grows without bounds as time tends to infinity. If this is the case, then this phenomenon can often be used to determine the invariant measures, or fixed point...
متن کاملEditorial: Evolution of Organismal Form: From Regulatory Interactions to Developmental Processes and Biological Patterns
Living organisms display an astonishing morphological and behavioral diversity shaped by extrinsic environmental conditions and by intrinsic changes in developmental processes. In turn, such developmental trajectories are contingent on a myriad of regulatory interactions occurring at all possible steps of gene expression and cellular function. We are pleased to present a Frontiers Research Topi...
متن کاملSpatial patterns of competing random walkers
We review recent results obtained from simple individual-based models of biological competition in which birth and death rates of an organism depend on the presence of other competing organisms close to it. In addition the individuals perform random walks of different types (Gaussian diffusion and Lévy flights). We focus on how competition and random motions affect each other, from which spatia...
متن کاملDifferential Evolution with Competing Strategies Applied to Partitional Clustering
We consider the problem of optimal partitional clustering of real data sets by optimizing three basic criteria (trace of within scatter matrix, variance ratio criterion, and Marriottt’s criterion). Four variants of the algorithm based on differential evolution with competing strategies are compared on eight real-world data sets. The experimental results showed that hybrid variants with k-means ...
متن کاملStochastic Optimal Growth with Unbounded Shock
This paper considers a neoclassical optimal growth problem where the shock that perturbs the economy in each time period is potentially unbounded on the state space. Sufficient conditions for existence, uniqueness and stability of equilibria are derived in terms of the primitives of the model using recent techniques from the field of perturbed dynamical systems. Journal of Economic Literature C...
