Onξ(s)-Quadratic Stochastic Operators on Two-Dimensional Simplex and Their Behavior

Abstract

A quadratic stochastic operator (in short QSO) is usually used to present the time evolution of differing species in biology. Some quadratic stochastic operators have been studied by Lotka and Volterra. The general problem in the nonlinear operator theory is to study the behavior of operators. This problem was not fully finished even for quadratic stochastic operators which are the simplest nonlinear operators. To study this problem, several classes of QSO were investigated. We studyξ(s)-QSO defined on 2D simplex. We first classifyξ(s)-QSO into 20 nonconjugate classes. Further, we investigate the dynamics of three classes of such operators.
