Invariant-rectangle criterion for underdominant coexistence

ID: invariant-rectangle-criterion-for-underdominant-coexistence

In the two-class globally coupled underdominant metapopulation, the rectangle , is forward invariant under the displayed bound. On its inner edges, selection points inward with magnitude while outward migration is at most or ; the outer edges also point inward. Thus prescribed initial state cannot approach global allele fixation when . Maximizing gives at , making the bound optimal within this particular symmetric worst-case rectangle argument, not a universal sharp migration threshold.
