Allowing for games with a continuous action space, we investigate how evolutionary stability, the existence of a uniform invasion
barrier, local superiority and asymptotic stability relate to each other. This is done without restricting the populations
of which we want to investigate the stability to monomorphic population states or to strategies with finite support.
Keywords Evolutionary stability - Uniform invasion barrier - Local superiority - Asymptotic stability - Continuous action space - Topology
