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

ion is still assumed to be infinite but time is now measured in units of discrete generations. As a straightforward extension of classical models (Fisher. 1930; Haldane. 1932; Wright, 1931), we assume that the population is well-mixed and that at the start of each generation it is composed of pain AA

For Markov chains on the one- dimensional grid, we describe recurrence relations for the expected hitting time and present lower and upper hounds on the expec
