Variations in polymer fitness at elevated mutation rates.

Abstract excerpt

Two series expressions were obtained that give the first and second order rates of change in population fitness during competitive replication at elevated mutation rates. At their zero-error limit, the respective power series reduces to the second (Fisher's theorem) and third moments of the fitness distribution. The first series maximized the variation in mean polymer fitness, for a given amount of population...
