Abstract

This is a theoretical treatment of one of the central problems in evolutionary biology, the evolution of social cooperation and conflict. Steven Frank tackles the problem with a highly original combination of approaches: game theory, classical models of natural selection, quantitative genetics, and kin selection. He unites these with the best of economic thought: a clear theory of model formation and comparative statics, the development of simple methods for analyzing complex problems, and notions of information and rationality. Using this unique, multidisciplinary approach, Frank makes major advances in understanding the foundations of social evolution. The book also provides a unique "how-to" guide for constructing models of social behavior. It is essential reading for evolutionary biologists and for economists, mathematicians, and others interested in natural selection.

Abstract

This open access brief introduces the basic principles of control theory in a concise self-study guide. It complements the classic texts by emphasizing the simple conceptual unity of the subject. A novice can quickly see how and why the different parts fit together. The concepts build slowly and naturally one after another, until the reader soon has a view of the whole. Each concept is illustrated by detailed examples and graphics. The full software code for each example is available, providing the basis for experimenting with various assumptions, learning how to write programs for control analysis, and setting the stage for future research projects. The topics focus on robustness, design trade-offs, and optimality. Most of the book develops classical linear theory. The last part of the book considers robustness with respect to nonlinearity and explicitly nonlinear extensions, as well as advanced topics such as adaptive control and model predictive control. New students, as well as scientists from other backgrounds who want a concise and easy-to-grasp coverage of control theory, will benefit from the emphasis on concepts and broad understanding of the various approaches.

Abstract

"This is a monograph about how natural selection shapes adaptation and biological design. It focuses on microbes, both because of their importance and because they are experimentally tractable, allowing biologists to test hypotheses about diversity and design that may not be possible in other systems. More specifically, comparison is key -- if scientists can predict how biological traits change when comparing different conditions, then they can reasonably say that they understand the fundamental evolutionary forces of design. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a theoretical foundation, showing how to study biological design through comparative predictions and how to formulate comparative predictions based on foundational aspects of biological theory. The second part applies the concepts and theories from part I to a specific biological trait, that of microbial metabolism. Ultimately, the book makes a case for how to study adaptation and biological design, a major problem in biology"--
