• TITLE: Discrete Evolutionary Genetics: Multiplicative Fitnesses and the Mutation-Fitness Balance

  ABSTRACT: We revisit the multi-allelic mutation-fitness balance problem especially when fitnesses are multiplicative. Using ideas arising from quasi-stationary distributions, we analyze the qualitative differences between the fitness-first and mutation-first models, under various schemes of the mutation pattern. We give some stochastic domination relations between the equilibrium states resulting from these models.
