Abstract excerpt
In this paper, we develop the mathematical structure of the Wright-Fisher model for evolution of the relative frequencies of two alleles at a diploid locus under random genetic drift in a population of fixed size in its simplest form, that is, without mutation or selection. We establish a new concept of a global solution for the diffusion approximation (Fokker-Planck equation), prove its existence and uniqueness...
