haviors or strategies. When both players are present. each step is a symmetric two-player game. The overall survival of the two individuals forms a Markov chain. As the number of iterations tends to infinity, all probabilities of survival decrease to Zero. We obtain general, analytical results for n-st

game dynamics of infinite populations. The replicator equation, in which general payoffs are inter- preted as contributions to individual fitness (Taylor and Jonker, 1978; Hofbauer et al., 1979; Zeeman, 1980; Schuster and Sigmund, 1983; Hofbauer and Sigmund, 1988, 1998) provides an evolution- ary set

given time [35]. Then we can use the fixation probabilities, or their large N asymptotic values [5, 155], and describe the system effectively as a Markov process on n homogeneous strategy states. This description, however, can lead to very different conditions for arbitrary selection and for weak sele
