✦ Synopsis

A formal relation between the hypercycle equation and the delay differential equation of E. M. Wright is exhibited using a traveling waves approach. Several unsolved questions in either problem can be related and interpreted, in particular new motivation for the study of Wright's equation is obtained.

In this paper, Wright's equation formulated in 1931 is proven and applied to evolutionary computation. Wright's equation shows that evolution is doing gradient ascent in a landscape deÿned by the average ÿtness of the population. The average ÿtness W is deÿned in terms of marginal gene frequencies p

We examine traveling-wave solutions for a generalized nonlineardiffusion Fisher equation studied by Hayes [J. Math. Biol. 29, 531-537 (1991)]. The density-dependent diffusion coefficient used is motivated by certain polymer diffusion and population dispersal problems. Approximate solutions are const
