Fixation times on the cycle graph
Even though fixation probabilities are the same on the cycle graph as on any other circulation, the corresponding fixation and absorption times can be vastly different. The diameter of cycle graphs ( the average minimal number of steps to reach any vertex from any other one) scales with \(N\) and hence fixation times are long - possibly the longest on any circulation with undirected links.
For the simulations, the population size is \(N=81\) with \(k=2\) neighbours and hence also a total of \(81\) links. 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. For reference, the analytical fixation and absorption times of the original Moran process are indicated by a dark red line.

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.
