Genetic algebra
Summary
A genetic algebra is a commutative, usually nonassociative, algebra with a special triangular basis, used to model the inheritance of genes. Every genetic algebra is a baric algebra, and the triangular form of its multiplication makes the long-run behaviour of the population under random mating computable. The study of algebras of this kind was started by Ivor Etherington around 1939. The term is also used more loosely for the whole family of algebras of mathematical genetics, such as train, Bernstein and evolution algebras.
