Epistasis on Finite and Infinite Spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main purpose of this text is to present a brief overview of recent results on epistasis. The first part of the note introduces epistasis and deals with epistasis on finite search spaces. It covers both minimally epistatic, i.e., linear, and maximally epistatic functions. The second part introduces epistasis and excess values on infinite search spaces. Some properties of this generalization are discussed, among them the fact that epistasis, under certain circumstances, reduces to the L2 norm. We do not aim to go into the mathematical details here, instead referring to recently published literature.

An extension theorem for finite positive measures on surfaces of finite dimensional unit balls in Hilbert spaces
A consistency criteria is given for a certain class of finite positive measures on the surfaces of the finite dimensional unit balls in a real separable Hilbert space. It is proved, through a Kolmogorov type existence theorem, that the class induces a unique positive measure on the surface of the unit ball in the Hilbert space. As an application, this will naturally accomplish the work of Kante...
متن کاملEntropy of infinite systems and transformations
The Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is a far reaching dynamical generalization of Shannon entropy of information systems. This entropy works perfectly for probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) transformations. However, it is not useful when there is no finite invariant measure. There are certain successful extensions of the notion of entropy to infinite measure spaces, or transformations with ...
متن کاملMangasarian-Fromovitz and Zangwill Conditions For Non-Smooth Infinite Optimization problems in Banach Spaces
In this paper we study optimization problems with infinite many inequality constraints on a Banach space where the objective function and the binding constraints are Lipschitz near the optimal solution. Necessary optimality conditions and constraint qualifications in terms of Michel-Penot subdifferential are given.
متن کاملInfinite dimensional non-positively curved symmetric spaces of finite rank
This paper concerns a study of three families of non-compact type symmetric spaces of infinite dimension. Although they have infinite dimension they have finite rank. More precisely, we show they have finite telescopic dimension. We also show the existence of Furstenberg maps for some group actions on these spaces. Such maps appear as a first step toward superrigidity results.
متن کاملThe nk model and population genetics.
The nk model of fitness interactions is examined. This model has been used by previous authors to investigate the effects of fitness epistasis on substitution dynamics in molecular evolution, and to make broader claims about the importance of epistasis. To examine these claims, an infinite-allele approximation is introduced. In this limit, it is shown that the nk model is, at an appropriate lev...
