We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

The free energy method and the Wright-Fisher model with 2 alleles
Tat Dat Tran, Julian Hofrichter and Jürgen Jost
Abstract
We introduce a new systematic approach to the Wright-Fisher model of population genetics based on the free energy functional. In the present paper, the method is illustrated for the simplest case only, that of 2 alleles.
