Evolutionarily stable states are frequently used to identify solutions to the replicator equation, given in its linear payoff form by
The state is said to be evolutionarily stable if for all in some neighborhood of
This is similar but distinct from the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or formulation:
“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.”
—Lindsay Anderson (b. 1923)
