Universal principles of cell population growth follow from local contact inhibition

Gregory J. Kimmel, Sadegh Marzban, Mehdi Damaghi +4

Cancer cell populations often exhibit remarkably similar growth laws despite their heterogeneity. Explanations of universal cell population growth remain partly unresolved to this…

Evolutionary games on cycles with strong selection

Philipp M. Altrock, Arne Traulsen, Martin A. Nowak

Evolutionary games on graphs describe how strategic interactions and population structure determine evolutionary success, quantified by the probability that a single mutant takes o…

Fixation in finite populations evolving in fluctuating environments

Peter Ashcroft, Philipp M Altrock, Tobias Galla

The environment in which a population evolves can have a crucial impact on selection. We study evolutionary dynamics in finite populations of fixed size in a changing environment.…

Aspiration Dynamics of Multi-player Games in Finite Populations

Jinming Du, Bin Wu, Philipp M. Altrock +1

Studying strategy update rules in the framework of evolutionary game theory, one can differentiate between imitation processes and aspiration-driven dynamics. In the former case, i…

The mechanics of stochastic slowdown in evolutionary games

Philipp M. Altrock, Arne Traulsen, Tobias Galla

We study the stochastic dynamics of evolutionary games, and focus on the so-called `stochastic slowdown' effect, previously observed in (Altrock et. al, 2010) for simple evolutiona…

Universality of weak selection

Bin Wu, Philipp M. Altrock, Long Wang +1

Weak selection, which means a phenotype is slightly advantageous over another, is an important limiting case in evolutionary biology. Recently it has been introduced into evolution…

Stochastic slowdown in evolutionary processes

Philipp M. Altrock, Chaytanya S. Gokhale, Arne Traulsen

We examine birth--death processes with state dependent transition probabilities and at least one absorbing boundary. In evolution, this describes selection acting on two different…

Deterministic evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations

Philipp M. Altrock, Arne Traulsen

Evolutionary game dynamics describes the spreading of successful strategies in a population of reproducing individuals. Typically, the microscopic definition of strategy spreading…

Nonequilibrium phase transitions in finite arrays of globally coupled Stratonovich models: Strong coupling limit

Fabian Senf, Philipp M. Altrock, Ulrich Behn

A finite array of globally coupled Stratonovich models exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition. In the limit of strong coupling there is a clear separation of tim…

Fixation times in evolutionary games under weak selection

Philipp M. Altrock, Arne Traulsen

In evolutionary game dynamics, reproductive success increases with the performance in an evolutionary game. If strategy performs better than strategy , strategy will spr…
