Completely Integrable Replicator Dynamics Associated to Competitive Networks
arXiv:2211.06501 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.107.L052202
Abstract
The replicator equations are a family of ordinary differential equations that arise in evolutionary game theory, and are closely related to Lotka-Volterra. We produce an infinite family of replicator equations which are Liouville-Arnold integrable. We show this by explicitly providing conserved quantities and a Poisson structure. As a corollary, we classify all tournament replicators up to dimension 6 and most of dimension 7. As an application, we show that Fig. 1 of ``A competitive network theory of species diversity" by Allesina and Levine (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 2011), produces quasiperiodic dynamics.
