Information Geometry and Population Genetics: The Mathematical Structure of the Wright-Fisher Model

by Jurgen Jost, Julian Hofrichter, Tat Dat Tran, et al.

Book Overview

The present monograph develops a versatile and profound mathematical perspective of the Wright--Fisher model of population genetics. This well-known and intensively studied model carries a rich and beautiful mathematical structure, which is uncovered here in a systematic manner. In addition to approaches by means of analysis, combinatorics and PDE, a geometric perspective is brought in through Amari's and Chentsov's information geometry. This concept...
