Spatial dynamics of a model for prebiotic evolution

摘要: Abstract The selective properties of a population formed by RNA-like molecules (replicators) with catalytic capabilities are analyzed in an extended system. evolves closed reactor and is kept far from equilibrium means recycling reaction that transforms the degradation products replicators into energy rich monomers, which species built up. In limit infinite diffusion, for particular set parameters system exhibits tristability between chaos two fixed points. Under this setup, numerical techniques used to prove formation spatial patterns when finite diffusion forces taken account one- two-dimensional spaces. Finally, relevance these results discussed within prebiotic framework.
