Description
We study the evolution of a population with a phenotypic trait structure, where the dynamics is ruled by births, deaths and mutations. We are interested in following populations in logarithmic scales of size and time, and derive a limiting Hamilton-Jacobi equation (with state constraints) from the stochastic individual based model. The limiting partial differential equation takes into account possible extinction events of the system on certain regions of the trait space. The proof emphasizes the links with the theory of large deviations. It is a joint work with N. Champagnat, S. Méléard and S. Mirrahimi.
