Abstract

The existence of neutral networks in genotype-phenotype maps has provided significant insight in theoretical investigations of evolutionary change and combinatorial optimization. In this paper we will consider neutral networks of two particular genotype-phenotype maps from a combinatorial perspective. The first map occurs in the context of folding RNA molecules into their secondary structures and the second map occurs in the study of sequential dynamical systems, a new class of dynamical systems designed for the analysis of computer simulations. We will prove basic properties of neutral nets and present an error threshold phenomenon for evolving populations of simulation schedules.
