Analysis of the stable equilibria of these dynamics has been a focus in the literature, where symmetry in fitness functions is typically assumed. We explore asymmetry in fitness and show that the replicator-mutator equations exhibit Hopf bifurcations and limit cycles. We prove conditions for the existence of stable limit cycles arising from multiple distinct Hopf bifurcations of the dynamics in the case of circulant fitness matrices. In the noncirculant case we illustrate how stable limit cycles of the dynamics are coupled to embedded directed cycles in the payoff graph. The limit cycles correspond to oscillations of grammar dominance in language evolution and to oscillations in behavioral preferences in social networks; for decision-making systems, the limit cycles correspond to sustained oscillations in decisions across the group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1137\/120878537","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,13]],"date-time":"2012-12-13T11:28:11Z","timestamp":1355398091000},"page":"1754-1784","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Hopf Bifurcations and Limit Cycles in Evolutionary Network Dynamics"],"prefix":"10.1137","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Darren","family":"Pais","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos H.","family":"Caicedo-N\u00fan\u0342ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naomi E.","family":"Leonard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"351","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevE.81.066122"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"R.
