Abstract
This paper considers the behaviour of infinite haploid genetic populations under the influence of mutation and selection depending on a single locus. Under wide conditions the Perron–Frobenius theory of non-negative matrices and its generalization by Vere-Jones are used to prove that there is a single globally stable state of the population when there is a finite or, under more restrictive conditions, an infinite set of possible alleles.Keywords
