The changes of traits are described by jump processes, and the dynamics can be approximated in large population by a non-linear PDE with a non-local mutation operator. Using the fact that this PDE admits a non-trivial stationary solution, we can approximate the non-linear stochastic population process by a linear birth-death process where the interactions are frozen, as long as the population remains close to this equilibrium. This allows us to derive, when the population is large, the equation satisfied by the ancestral lineage of an individual uniformly sampled at a fixed time $T$, which is the path constituted of the traits of the ancestors of this individual in past times $tleq T$. This process is a time inhomogeneous Markov process, but we show that the time reversal of this process possesses a very simple structure (e.g. time-homogeneous and independent of $T$). This extends recent results where the authors studied a similar model with a Laplacian operator but where the methods essentially relied on the Gaussian nature of the mutations.","PeriodicalId":50538,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Probability","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41947489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of both these two properties of high-degree vertices is novel, in particular in relation to the behaviour of the depth of such vertices. In passing, we also obtain results for the joint behaviour of the degree and depth of and graph distance between any fixed number of vertices with a prescribed label. This combines several isolated results on the degree and depth of and graph distance between vertices with a prescribed label already present in the literature. Furthermore, we extend these results to hold jointly for any number of fixed vertices and improve these results by providing more detailed descriptions of the distributional limits.
