Abstract. In this paper we will explore the nonassociative algebraic structure that naturally occurs as genetic information gets passed down through the generations. While modern understanding of genetic inheritance initiated with the theories of Charles Darwin, it was the Augustinian monk Gregor Mendel who began to uncover the mathematical nature of the subject. In fact, the symbolism Mendel used to describe his first results (e.g., see his 1866 paper Experiments in Plant-Hybridization [30]) is quite algebraically suggestive. Seventy four years later, I.M.H. Etherington introduced the formal language of abstract algebra to the study of genetics in his series of seminal papers [9], [10], [11]. In this paper we will discuss the concepts of genetics that suggest the underlying algebraic structure of inheritance, and we will give a brief overview of the algebras which arise in genetics and some of their basic properties and relationships. With the popularity of biologically motivated mathematics continuing to rise, we offer this survey article as another example of the breadth of mathematics that has biological significance. The most comprehensive reference for the mathematical research done in this area (through 1980) is .

“…We first summarize some facts which were proved in [2] and [5]: Now let lK denote the field of real or complex numbers and A a finite dimensional commutative lK-algebra with left multiplication L (x). Then A is called a genetic algebra if there is a nontrivial homomorphism co : A --+ IK and the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of any transformation f (L (xl) ..... L (xs)) only depend on co(x1) ..... co(Xs) for any polynomial f in s noncommuting indeterminates; the second requirement is equivalent to A (in the real case A ® C) permitting coordinates such that L (x) is lower triangular for all x C A and strictly lower triangular for all x E Ker co (see [6] for details).…”

We discuss the long-time behavior of Andreoli's differential equation for genetic algebras and for Bernstein algebras and show convergence to an equilibrium in both cases. For a class of Bernstein algebras this equilibrium is determined explicitly. Continuous time modelsAndreoli [1] introduced the differential equation ~ : X 2 --X, x ( 0 ) = y in the standard simplex of a genetic algebra with genetic realization to model the time dependence of the genotype frequencies of a population in the limiting case of continuously overlapping generations. While Andreoli restricted his attention to three-dimensional systems, Heuch [5] later considered genetic algebras of arbitrary (finite) dimension and showed that this equation can be solved by elementary functions; see also W6rz-Busekros [9].The long-time behavior of the solutions seems to have been unknown so far in the general case, although it was known for special classes of algebras [9]. We show in this note that for any genetic algebra with genetic realization every solution in the standard simplex tends to a stationary point for t--* oo.Using different methods, we show that the same holds for Bernstein algebras (which are not necessarily genetic).In the remainder of this section we derive some preliminary results about the differential equation 2 = x 2 -x in a real or complex commutative algebra A. The first one is proved in [7]:Lemma 0.1 Let G(y, t) resp. S(y, t) be the solution of 2 = x 2 resp. 2 = x 2 -x with x(O) = y. Then S(y, t) = e -" G(y, 1 -e -9 , wherever both sides are defined. Now let G(y, t) = ~k>~o tkgk(Y) be the Taylor series expansion about t = 0. From [7] it is known that the gk satisfy the recursion

On Bernstein algebras which are train algebras

Abstract: The class of non-associative algebras over a field of characteristic zero named in the title is studied using a result of Ouattara [9]. As an application, the differential equation for overlapping generations in the timecontinuous model is solved.
