Here, we will develop a mathematical framework that makes it possible to describe the solutions of such systems. Taking the example of a system of two underdominant loci in diploid organisms, we will study the interactions from a mathematical point of view. A key contribution will be provided by the concept of generalized travelling wave. Phenomena observed by population geneticists will be retrieved and quantified: aggregation of clines and induced acceleration. We will also briefly show how this framework can be extended to the case of n loci, and what new questions arise.
