On Non-Volterra Quadratic Stochastic Operators Generated by a Product Measure

Abstract

In this article, we describe a wide class of non-Volterra quadratic stochastic operators using N. Ganikhadjaev's construction of quadratic stochastic operators. By the construction these operators depend on a probability measure μ being defined on the set of all configurations which are given on a graph G. We show that if μ is the product of probability measures being defined on each maximal connected subgraphs of G then corresponding non-Volterra operator can be reduced to m number (where m is the number of maximal connected subgraphs of G) of Volterra operators defined on the maximal connected subgraphs. Our result allows to study a wide class of non-Volterra operators in the framework of the well known theory of Volterra quadratic stochastic operators.
