Convergence of genotypic frequencies for differential selfing and positive assortative mating at a biallelic locus

For a biallelic model of differential self-fertilization and differential positive assortative mating based on genotype, it is shown that the genotypic frequencies converge for all sets of mating system parameters. Overdominance and underdominance with respect to the parameters are necessary but not sufficient conditions for global convergence to a polymorphic equilibrium and local attractiveness of both the fixation states, respectively. There are cases of overdominance and underdominance for which one fixation state is globally attractive. The relationship of the result to those known from the classical viability selection model are briefly discussed. For the multiallelic version, it is shown that after the first generation all of the homozygote frequencies are always in excess of the corresponding Hardy-Weinberg proportions if at least one homozygote rate of self-fertilization or assortment probability is positive.
