Adaptive walks in Kauffman’s NK-Landscape — •Stefan Nowak and Joachim Krug — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität zu Köln, Deutschland

We study evolutionary dynamics in a high-dimensional genotype space in the limit of rare mutations and strong selection. In this regime the population performs an uphill walk which terminates at local fitness optima. We analyze the length and attained fitness of such walks with our focus on the influence of different genetic interaction patterns.
