Population control of self-replicating systemsThe literature concerning fibonacci sequence and the mathematics of self replication are reviewed. One option allows each primary to generate n-replicas, one in each sequential time frame after its own generation with no restrictions on the number of ancestors per replica. The state vector of the replicas in an efficient manner is determined. Option-B has a fixed number of replicas per primary and no restrictions on the number of ancestors for a replica. Any element fij represents the number of elements of type-j in time frame k+1 generated from type-i in time frame k. Option-D is a diagonal matrix whose eigenvalues are precisely those of f.
