Competition in a Fitness Landscape
Abstract
We present an extension of Eigen's model for quasi-species including the competition among individuals, proposed as the simplest mechanism for the formation of new species in a smooth fitness landscape. We are able to obtain analytically the critical threshold for species formation. The comparison with numerical simulations is very good.
