The models of gene decay, previously worked out on the basis of Gedda-Brenci's Ergon/Chronon System, now undergo an analytic simulation, in order to verify how the mathematical model fits the stochastic one.

Footnotes

*

The stochastic scheme and the logical basis of simulation are due to C. Rossi (Istituto di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo, but presently at Istituto di Calcolo delle Probabilità); the automatic procedures and the analysis of the results, to R. Sangermano (Istituto di Calcolo delle Probabilità). Both authors thank Professor B. de Finetti for his useful suggestions and criticism.
