title: Maximization principles for frequency-dependent selection II: the one-locus multiallele case.
abstract: In this article we study a single-locus multiallele version of the pairwise-interaction model (PIM) in discrete and continuous time and a density-dependent version of this model (D-PIM) in continuous time. The PIM assumes that the fitnesses of genotypes are proportional to the average amount of competition resulting from pairwise interactions. Hence, fitness is frequency dependent. Our main aim is to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of maximization principles analogous to Fisher's Fundamental Theorem for constant selection. We provide a systematic analysis and illustrate our results by concrete examples. We show that in discrete time the mean fitness is nondecreasing along every trajectory provided the interaction coefficients are nonnegative and symmetric. For asymmetric interactions this is in general not true. However, for what we call pseudo-symmetric interactions a function similar to, but in general not identical to, the mean fitness: the adjusted-mean fitness, is nondecreasing along trajectories. For asymmetric interactions, we also provide sufficient conditions for the mean fitness, and more generally for the adjusted-mean fitness, to be nondecreasing and sufficient conditions when it is not. In continuous time, we provide similar but stronger results. If the interaction coefficients are pseudo-symmetric, the adjusted-mean fitness is nondecreasing in the D-PIM.
