Bak–Sneppen Model
The Bak–Sneppen model is a simple model of co-evolution between interacting species. It was developed to show how self-organized criticality may explain key features of the fossil record, such as the distribution of sizes of extinction events and the phenomenon of punctuated equilibrium. It is a minimalistic model, designed not so much to be an accurate model of evolutionary biology, as it is to show that bursty avalanche phenomena and intermittency seen in condensed matter physics can be applied in much broader settings, such as evolutionary biology. It is named after Per Bak and Kim Sneppen. The model dynamics repeatedly eliminates the least adapted species and mutates it and its neighbors to recreate the interaction between species. A comprehensive study of the details of this model can be found i''Phys. Rev. E'' 53, 414–443 (1996) A solvable version of the model has been proposed i''Phys. Rev. Lett.'' 76, 348–351 (1996) whicshowsthat the dynamics evolves sub-diffusivel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
