Evolutionary dynamics on the complete graph

For the rectangular (or 2D) lattice with four neighbours (von Neumann neighbourhood) and periodic boundary conditions, mutants typically invade by forming a compact, expanding cluster with a frazzled boundary. The width of the frazzled zone increases for decreasing fitness differences between residents and mutants. This also increases the chance that the initial cluster of mutants gets split into several smaller ones.

For the simulations, the population size is N=100×100=10000. The fitness of residents is set to 1 and that of mutants to 2. Thus, a single mutant has approximately a 50% chance to take over the population. Typically it takes around 140 generations for the mutant to reach fixation.

Game parameters

The list below describes only the few parameters related to the evolutionary dynamics of residents and mutants with fixed fitness (constant selection). Numerous other parameters are available to set population structures or update rules on the player as well as population level.

--fitness <r,m>
fitness of residents r and of mutants m.
