Abstract:We consider two mathematical models in evolutionary dynamics. The first model is an extension of an evolutionary game theory model proposed by Martin Nowak. We consider both a mean field deterministic approach and a weak noise stochastic approach, but the focus is on latter which is an uncommon approach for this type of model. The second model is an extension of a competitive exclusion model studied by DeVille et. al. We again consider both a mean field deterministic approach and a weak noise stochastic approach, this time with the focus on the former where we are able to prove numerous global stability results.
