Self-loops in evolutionary graph theory: Friends or foes?

Average extinction and fixation time for the isothermal graphs.
The average fixation (via solid lines) and average extinction (via dashed lines) times for the two isothermal graphs, namely, the complete graph and the cycle graph. To plot the analytical results, we have used Eqs 66 and 69. Open circles represent microscopic Moran Bd simulations. Although, the probability for a mutant to fix on any of these structures is the same due to isothermal theorem, the times it takes to reach fixation are different. Fixation on the cycle graph is slower than on the complete graph. As a result, the cycle graph is more restrictive to the weak mutation approximation. The parameters are same as in Fig 6.
