Random evolution

Polystochastic models are used to characterize processes with numerous elementary states. The examples mentioned in the previous section have already shown that, in the establishment of a stochastic model, the strategy starts with identifying the random chains (Markov chains) or the systems with complete connections which provide the necessary basis for the process to evolve. The mathematical description can be made in different forms such as (i) a probability balance, (ii) by modelling the random evolution, (iii) by using models based on the stochastic differential equations, (iv) by deterministic models of the process where the parameters also come from a stochastic base because the random chains are present in the process evolution. 

This method to solve stochastic differential equations has also been suggested to calculate the solutions of the stochastic models originated from the theory of random evolution [4.38, 4.39]. 

From a mathematical point of view, a random evolution is an operator 0(t,t) that is improved at both t and T times. The linear differential equation is Eq. (4.90) ... 

The concept of infinitesimal operator is frequently used when the random evolutions are the generators of stochastic models from a mathematical point of view. This operator can be defined with the help of a homogeneous Markov process X(t) where the random change occurs with the following transition probabilities ... 

In the case where X(t) or X(t, e) corresponds to a diffusion process (the stochastic process is continuous), it can be demonstrated that Q is a second order elliptic operator [4.39- 4.42]. The solution of the equation, which defines the random evolution, is given by a formula that yields 0(r,t). In this case, if we can consider that 6jjj(t, X) is the mean value of X(t)(which depends on the initial value of Xq), then, we can write the following equation ... 

Two examples, which show the methodology to be used in order to establish the random evolution operator, are developed below ... 

For relation (4.98), the initial condition ejjj(0, X, z) = f (X, z) can be established according to the form considered for v(X). This condition shows that, at the beginning of the random evolution and at each z position, we have different X states for the process. The examples described above show the difficulty of an analysis when the required process passes randomly from one stochastic evolution to another. 

As an example, we show the equation that characterizes a random evolution (see relation (4.90)) written without the arguments for the operator 0(t, t), but developed with the operator V(X(t)). We also consider that, when the random process changes, the operator 0(r,t) will be represented by an identity operator (I = I(T,t)) ... 

The mixtures of extremozymes produced by the expression process are then tested to see if they have catalytic activity for the industrial processes of interest. If a given mixture shows catalytic activity, it is then usually subjected to random DNA mutagenesis or molecule breeding to see whether random evolution of the enzymes will lead to improved activities.

The statistical foundation of rate theory is as follows the E value which characterizes the band spreading results from the contribution of some elementary processes. The concentration distribution throughout the band is described by a Gaussian relationship (eqn (2.14)) whose width is given by the standard deviation (eqn (2.16)). For random processes, according to the theory of random evolution, a, the standard deviation is given by ... 

Once we know the probability distribution for the waiting times we can follow Gillespie (1977) to device the following algorithm to simulate the random evolution...
