Abstract

In multi-allelic model $X=(x_1 ,x_2 ,\cdots ,x_d )$, \[ M_f(t)=f(p(t))-\int_0^t Lf(p(t))ds \] is a $P$-martingale for diffusion operator $L$ under the certain conditions. In this note, we examine the stochastic differential equation for model $X$ and find the properties using stochastic differential equation.

Keywords: allelic model, martingale problem, stochastic differential equation, random genetic drift, mutation rate, natural selection
