Martin Nowak

چکیده

Martin Nowak is Head of the Program in Theoretical Biology at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He will move to Harvard University later this year. Nowak’s work initiated the field of virus dynamics — the mathematical description of how viruses spread within infected individuals. This led to a quantitative understanding of HIV infection (see ‘Virus dynamics’, by Martin Nowak and Robert May, Oxford University Press, 2000). Nowak has also made contributions to the long-standing problem of the evolution of cooperation. In an effort to describe the evolution of animal communication and human language, he designed a mathematical approach bringing together formal linguistics, learning theory and evolutionary dynamics. His most recent interest is in understanding the somatic evolution of cancer.

Comment on Ghang and Nowak "Indirect reciprocity with optional interactions"

The purpose of this note is to point out some simple mathematical errors in the article "Indirect reciprocity with optional interactions" (Journal of Theoretical Biology 365 (2015) 111) by Whan Ghang and Martin Nowak, which a¤ect their results and conclusions. We note various ways that these errors could be xed, but all require fundamental revisions of their model and lead to counterintuitive...
