This study solves the Partridge-Barton model with genetic constraints and mutations, providing analytical solutions for survival probabilities and population growth. Results show a power-law decay in mean population age, confirmed by simulations.

Area of Science:

Population genetics
Mathematical biology
Evolutionary dynamics

Background:

The Partridge-Barton model describes age-structured population dynamics.
Incorporating genetic factors like pleiotropy and somatic mutations is crucial for realistic models.
Understanding the long-term evolutionary trajectory requires analytical solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

To exactly solve the time evolution of the Partridge-Barton model under pleiotropic constraints and deleterious somatic mutations.
To derive analytical expressions for mean survival probabilities and Malthusian growth exponent.
To investigate the asymptotic behavior and population age structure.

Main Methods:

Utilized a matricial formalism for exact analytical solutions.
