Exponential convergence to a steady-state for a population genetics model with sexual reproduction and selection
arXiv:2104.06089
Abstract
We are interested in the dynamics of a population structured by a phenotypic trait. Individuals reproduce sexually, which is represented by a non-linear integral operator. This operator is combined to a multiplicative operator representing selection. When the strength of selection is small, we show that the dynamics of the population is governed by a simple macroscopic differential equation, and that solutions converge exponentially to steady-states that are locally unique. The analysis is based on Wasserstein distance inequalities using a uniform lower bound on distributions. These inequalities are coupled to tail estimates to show the stability of the steady-states.
