ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to find the stationary distribution of a certain class of Markov chains arising in a biological population involved in a specific type of evolutionary conflict, known as Parkers model. In a population of such players, the result of repeated, infrequent, attempted invasions using strategies from{0,1,2,,m-1}, is a Markov chain. The stationary distributions of this class of chains, for m ε {3,4,,} are derived in terms of previously known integer sequences. The asymptotic distribution (for m →∞) is derived.
