<p>a, Fixation probabilities on an undirected cycle with <i>N</i> = 10 vertices as a function of <i>r</i> for starting with one mutant.</p>

The solid lines represent the average of 10⁴ simulations of the mixed -updating process, and the surrounding translucent regions are the 95% confidence intervals. The dashed lines are the theoretical fixation probabilities from Theorem 3.10. <b>i)</b> Zoomed in plot of the theoretical curves in the region , normalized by the fixation probability when .

At <i>r</i> = 1, the fixation probability is 1/<i>N</i> regardless of . This value is indicated by a dot. The plotted range extends below <i>r</i> = 1, that is, to deleterious mutants, for which Theorem 3.10 remains valid.
