Difference Equations in Genetics
Author: James T. Sandefur
The evolution of many allele frequencies can be understood through the use of difference equations. Let n represent (equallyspaced) discrete points in time or generations, and let A(n) represent the size of a population at time n. A first-order difference equation relates the size of the population to the size at time n. Three important but simple difference equations are
