We present a deterministic selection-mutation model with a
discrete trait variable. We show that for an irreducible
selection-mutation matrix in the birth term the deterministic
model has a unique interior equilibrium which is globally stable.
Thus all subpopulations coexist. In the pure selection case, the
outcome is known to be that of competitive exclusion, where the
subpopulation with the largest growth-to-mortality ratio will
survive and the remaining subpopulations will go extinct. We show
that if the selection-mutation matrix is reducible, then
competitive exclusion or coexistence are possible outcomes. We
then develop a stochastic population model based on the
deterministic one. We show numerically that the mean behavior of
the stochastic model in general agrees with the deterministic one.
However, unlike the deterministic one, if the differences in the
growth-to-mortality ratios are small in the pure selection case,
it cannot be determined a priori which subpopulation will have the
highest probability of surviving and winning the competition.

Abstract
We present a deterministic selection-mutation model with a
discrete trait variable. We show that for an irreducible
selection-mutation matrix in the birth term the deterministic
model has a unique interior equilibrium which is globally stable.
Thus all subpopulations coexist. In the pure selection case, the
outcome is known to be that of competitive exclusion, where the
subpopulation with the largest growth-to-mortality ratio will
survive and the remaining subpopulations will go extinct. We show
that if the selection-mutation matrix is reducible, then
competitive exclusion or coexistence are possible outcomes. We
then develop a stochastic population model based on the
deterministic one. We show numerically that the mean behavior of
the stochastic model in general agrees with the deterministic one.
However, unlike the deterministic one, if the differences in the
growth-to-mortality ratios are small in the pure selection case,
it cannot be determined a priori which subpopulation will have the
highest probability of surviving and winning the competition.
