Preface
Nonlinear mappings appear throughout mathematics, and their range of applications
is immense, including the theory of differential equations, the theory of probability,
the theory of dynamical systems, mathematical biology, and statistical physics. Most
of the simplest nonlinear operators are quadratic. Even in a one-dimensional setting,
the behavior of such operators reveals their complicated structure. If one considers
multidimensional analogues of quadratic operators, then the situation becomes more
complicated, i.e., the investigation of the dynamical behavior of such operators is
very difficult.
The history of quadratic stochastic operators and their dynamics can be traced
back to Bernstein’s work [18]. The continuous time dynamics of this type of
operator was considered by Lotka [134] and Volterra [252]. Quadratic stochastic
operators are an important source of analysis in the study of dynamical properties
and for modeling in various fields such as mathematical economics, evolutionary
biology, population and disease dynamics, and the dynamics of economic and social
systems.
Unfortunately, up to now, there have been no books devoted to the dynamics of
quadratic stochastic operators. This omission in the literature gave us the motivation
to write a systematic book about such operators.
The general objectives of this book are: (i) to give the first systematic presentation
of both analytical and probabilistic techniques used in the study of the dynamics
of quadratic stochastic operators and corresponding processes; (ii) to establish a
connection between the dynamics of quadratic stochastic operators with the theory
of Markov processes; and (iii) to give a systematic introduction to noncommutative
or quantum analogues of quadratic stochastic operators and processes.
The book addresses the most fundamental questions in the theory of quadratic
stochastic operators: dynamics, constructions, regularity, and the connection with
stochastic processes. This connection means that the dynamics of such operators can
be treated as certain Markov or quadratic processes. This interpretation allows us to
use the methods of stochastic processes for a better understanding of the limiting
behavior of the dynamics of quadratic operators.

Preface
Below we provide an overview of the main topics discussed in this book and
explain why they have been selected.
The starting point of our book is to introduce a quadratic stochastic operator V W
S.X; F/ ! S.X; F/ defined on the set of all probability measures S.X; F/ on .X; F/
and to present some motivations to study such operators. The next step is to define
and study stochastic processes that are related to the quadratic stochastic operators
in the same way as Markov processes are related to linear transformations. After
this, it is natural to develop analytic methods for such processes. The last step is
to generalize the theory of quadratic stochastic operators and processes to different
algebraic structures, including von Neumann algebras. Such quadratic operators are
called quantum quadratic stochastic operators (q.q.s.o.s). In this direction, we study
the asymptotic properties of dynamical systems generated by q.q.s.o.s. Moreover,
we also investigate Markov and quantum quadratic stochastic processes associated
with q.q.s.o.s.
An essential feature of our exposition is the first systematic presentation of both
the classical and quantum theory of quadratic stochastic operators and processes. We
combine analytical and probabilistic tools to get a better insight into the dynamics of
both classical and quantum quadratic operators. Moreover, we use several methods
from the theory of noncommutative probability, matrix analysis, etc.
Now we discuss the structure of the book in more detail. The book is divided into
eight chapters; at the end of each chapter, we give some comments and references
related to the chapter.
The first chapter is an introduction where we collect some models, which can be
described by quadratic stochastic operators.
Chapter 2 is devoted to quadratic stochastic operators (q.s.o.s) defined on a
finite-dimensional simplex. In this chapter, we essentially deal with asymptotical
stability (or regularity) condition for such operators. Moreover, we show how the
dynamics of q.s.o.s are related to some Markov processes. Some relations between
the regularity of a q.s.o. and the corresponding Markov process are investigated.
In Chap. 3, we introduce quadratic stochastic processes (q.s.p.s) and give examples of such processes. Note that these quadratic processes naturally arise in the
study of certain models with interactions, where interactions are described by
quadratic stochastic operators. Furthermore, this chapter contains a construction
of nontrivial examples of q.s.p.s. Given a q.s.p., one can associate two kinds of
processes, which are called marginal processes. One of them is a Markov process.
We prove that marginal processes uniquely define q.s.p.s. The weak ergodicity of
q.s.p.s is also studied in terms of the marginal processes.
In Chap. 4, we develop analytical methods for q.s.p.s. We follow the lines of
Kolmogorov’s [121] paper. Namely, we will derive partial differential equations
with delaying argument, for quadratic processes of types A and B, respectively.
In the previous chapters, we are considering classical (i.e., commutative)
quadratic operators. These operators are defined over commutative algebras.
However, such operators do not cover the case of quantum systems. Therefore,
in Chap. 5 we introduce a noncommutative analogue of a q.s.o., which is called a
quantum quadratic stochastic operator (q.q.s.o.). We show that the set of q.q.s.o.s
Preface

is weakly compact. By means of q.q.s.o.s, one can define a nonlinear operator,
which is called a quadratic operator. We also study the asymptotical stability of the
dynamics of quadratic operators.
Chapter 6 is devoted to quantum quadratic stochastic operators (q.q.s.o.s) acting
on the algebra of 2 2 matrices M2 .C/. Positive, trace-preserving maps arise
naturally in quantum information theory (see, e.g., [199]) and in other situations
where one wishes to restrict attention to a quantum system that should properly be
considered a subsystem of a larger system which it interacts with. Therefore, we first
describe quadratic operators with a Haar state (invariant with respect to the trace).
Then q.q.s.o.s with the Kadison–Schwarz property are characterized. By means of
such a description, we provide an example of a positive q.q.s.o., which is not a
Kadison–Schwarz operator. On the other hand, this characterization is related to a
separability condition, which plays an important role in quantum information [17].
We also examine the stability of the dynamics of quadratic operators associated with
q.q.s.o.s given on M2 .C/.
In Chap. 7, we investigate a class of q.q.s.o.s defined on the commutative algebra
`1 . We define the notion of a Volterra quadratic operator and study its properties. It
is proved that such operators have infinitely many fixed points and the set of Volterra
operators forms a convex compact set. In addition, its extreme points are described.
Furthermore, we study certain limit behaviors of such operators and give some more
examples of Volterra operators for which their trajectories do not converge. Finally,
we define a compatible sequence of finite-dimensional Volterra operators and prove
that any power of this sequence converges in the weak topology. Note that in the
finite-dimensional setting such operators have been studied by many authors (see,
for example, [74, 252]).
In Chap. 8, we define a quantum (noncommutative) analogue of quadratic
stochastic processes. In our case, such a process is defined on a von Neumann
algebra. In this chapter, we essentially study the ergodic principle for these
processes. From a physical point of view, this principle means that for sufficiently
large values of time a system described by the process does not depend on the initial
state of the system.
This book is not intended to contain a complete discussion of the theory
of quadratic operators, but primarily relates to the asymptotic stability of such
operators and associated processes. Moreover, it reflects the interests of the authors
in key aspects of this theory. There are many omitted topics that naturally fit into
the purview of quadratic operators. However, we have tried to collect the existing
references on quadratic stochastic operators. Some of these are discussed in the
separate sections entitled “Comments and References.”
This book is suitable as a textbook for an advanced undergraduate/graduate level
course or summer school in quantum dynamical systems. It can also be used as
a reference book by researchers looking for interesting problems to work on, or
useful techniques and discussions of particular problems. It also includes the latest
developments in the fields of quadratic dynamical systems, Markov processes, and

quantum stochastic processes. Researchers at all levels are likely to find the book
inspiring and useful.
