Global attractivity in a genotype selection model (Q1607882)

The paper deals with the discrete genotype selection model \[ y_{n+1} = \frac{y_n e^{\beta_n (1-2y_{n-k})}}{1 - y_n + y_n e^{\beta_n (1-2y_{n-k})}}, \qquad n \in N, \tag{1} \] where \(k \in N\) and \(\{ \beta_n \}\) is a sequence of positive real numbers. It is proved that if \(\sum_{i=n-k}^{n} \beta_i \leq 3 + 1/(k+1)\) for all large \(n\) and \(\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} \beta_i = \infty\) then every solution \(\{ y_n \}\) of (1) with initial conditions \(y_{-k}, y_{-k+1},\dots , y_0 \in (0,1)\) tends to the equilibrium \(\widetilde y = 1/2.\)
