Strong bounds for evolution in networks

作者:

Highlights:

• We consider the fixation probability with respect to the initial mutant vertex.

• We aim in finding graphs with many “strong starts” or “weak starts” of the mutant.

• We introduce the notions of selective amplifiers and selective suppressors.

• We prove the existence of strong selective amplifiers and suppressors.

• We provide almost tight lower bounds for the fixation probability (Thermal Theorem).
