Selection-mutation dynamics with asymmetrical reproduction kernels (Q2145634)

This work mathematically studies some selection-mutation models of nonlocal type, describing the distribution of a sexual population structured by a phenotypical trait. The novelty consists in considering an asymmetry in the trait heredity or in the fecundity between the parents, situations that occur, for example, in certain mosquitoes species. The main results are related to the asymptotic behavior of the population distribution. In particular, some non-extinction conditions and BV estimates on the total population are provided. Moreover, concentration phenomena are considered: some general estimates are given for the Hamilton-Jacobi equations that arise from this study, and concentration is obtained in some special situations.
