Ultra hypercyclicity and its connection to mixing properties

Recently, two new topological properties for operators acting on a topological vector space were introduced: strong hypercyclicity and hypermixing. We introduce a new property called ultra hypercyclicity and compare it to strong hypercyclicity and hypermixing, as well as the classical notions of mixing, weak mixing, and hypercyclicity. We show that every ultra hypercyclic operator on Fr\'echet space must be weakly mixing, and that there exists a strongly hypercyclic operator which is not ultra hypercyclic. We also characterize, in terms of the weight sequence, the ultra hypercyclic weighted backward shifts on $c_0$ and $\ell^p$, $1\leq p<\infty$. Finally, we improve upon a necessary condition for strongly hypercyclic weighted backward shifts.

A note on the distribution of admixture segment lengths and ancestry proportions under pulse and two-wave admixture models

Admixed populations are formed by the merging of two or more ancestral populations, and the ancestry of each locus in an admixed genome derives from either source. Consider a simple "pulse" admixture model, where populations A and B merged t generations ago without subsequent gene flow. We derive the distribution of the proportion of an admixed chromosome that has A (or B) ancestry, as a function of the chromosome length L, t, and the initial contribution of the A source, m. We demonstrate that these results can be used for inference of the admixture parameters. For more complex admixture models, we derive an expression in Laplace space for the distribution of ancestry proportions that depends on having the distribution of the lengths of segments of each ancestry. We obtain explicit results for the special case of a "two-wave" admixture model, where population A contributed additional migrants in one of the generations between the present and the initial admixture event. Specifically, we derive formulas for the distribution of A and B segment lengths and numerical results for the distribution of ancestry proportions. We show that for recent admixture, data generated under a two-wave model can hardly be distinguished from that generated under a pulse model.
