Stationary solutions and their stability for Kimura's diffusion model with intergroup selection. II (Q1103542)

This is the continuation of part I, see the preceding review, Zbl 0645.92013. The first main advance is to improve the stability theorem in the cases where there are two stationary distributions or infinitely many ones. In the former case, the authors succeed to remove a surplus condition needed in the previous paper on the initial distributions. In the latter case, where no significant results were given in part I, they get a complete classification of the initial distributions by the stationary distributions to which the corresponding solutions converge. The second main advance is to obtain two comparison theorems of the solutions; one ensures the order preserving property of the solutions under the time evolution and the other shows the monotone dependence of the moment sequences of the time evolving solution on the parameters. These enable the authors to improve their previous theorem on Kimura's property. This paper together with the previous one gives complete answers for the problem at present.
