(G,\mu)- Quadratic Stochastic Operators

Abstract

We consider a new subclass of quadratic stochastic (evolutionary) operators on the simplex indexed by a finite Abelian group G with heredity law \mu. With the help of the notion of s(\mu)-invariant subgroups, where s(\mu) denotes the support of \mu in G, we prove that almost all (w.r.t.\ Lebesgue measure) trajectories of such operators converge to a unique fixed point which is the center of the simplex. We also identify and describe the periodic trajectories of the operator and give conditions for regularity and periodicity.
