Exact solution of the Eigen model with general fitness functions and degradation rates.

Abstract excerpt

We present an exact solution of Eigen's quasispecies model with a general degradation rate and fitness functions, including a square root decrease of fitness with increasing Hamming distance from the wild type. The found behavior of the model with a degradation rate is analogous to a viral quasispecies under attack by the immune system of the host. Our exact solutions also revise the known results of neutral...
