Mathematical Formulation
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:
“What is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“You do not mean by mystery what a Catholic does. You mean an interesting uncertainty: the uncertainty ceasing interest ceases also.... But a Catholic by mystery means an incomprehensible certainty: without certainty, without formulation there is no interest;... the clearer the formulation the greater the interest.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
