    Star-graph mutation load (theory curves)
    Below are non-simulated analytical relationships for mutation load on a star graph in a two-type (mutant vs wild-type) mutation–selection model on graphs. Curves use the paper’s stated closed-form expressions for the star graph in the specified update modes, parameterized by mutant fitness ratio (denoted f in the source).

    1) Mutation load on the star graph vs mutant fitness (Bd o vs Bd p)

    What this plot is (and isn’t)
    The source reports that for a star graph under the Bd update schemes it gives the mutation-load expression L = (f βˆ’ 1)/(f + 1) (same functional form reported for the star graph in the extracted update-rule statements for both Bd o and Bd p).
    Limitations / blind spots: this curve is not a Monte Carlo β€œmutation load simulation”; it visualizes the paper’s analytical functional dependence on f. The exact definition of L and the model’s parameterization of f must match the source conventions.

    2) Mutation-load sign & crossing point (where L = 0)

    Interpretation note (skeptical)
    Whether β€œnegative” or β€œpositive” values correspond to β€œmutation load increasing” depends on the source’s exact definition/sign convention for L. Here, we only visualize the algebra implied by the reported closed-form expression.

    3) Connection to β€œpopulation structure effects” (why stars matter)

    Star graphs are a key heterogeneous benchmark in evolutionary graph theory because their topology creates strong center–leaf asymmetries. One source (star-like amplification of fixation-related dynamics) shows that certain graph structures can strongly modify evolutionary outcomes relative to complete graphs, depending on initialization/update assumptions.

    Suggested next step (if you want an actual ¡–dependent β€œmutation load simulation”)

    To plot a true mutation-rate (Β΅) simulation curve, I would need the source’s specific parameter values (e.g., Β΅ grid, selection regime, and the exact mutation-load definition L used numerically) or the paper’s raw plotted data. The provided research excerpts include star-graph closed-form relationships in terms of f, but not a complete numerical table over Β΅.

    It will extract mutation-load expressions and/or digitize star-graph figure panels from the provided paper sources, then generate mutation-load vs Β΅ and vs f plots for the requested update rules.
