Evolutionary Game Theory: Darwinian Dynamics and the G Function Approach

Classical evolutionary game theory allows one to analyze the population dynamics of interacting individuals playing different strategies (broadly defined) in a population. To expand scope this framework allow us examine evolution these individuals’ over time, we present idea fitness-generating (G) function. Under model, can simultaneously consider (ecological) and strategy (evolutionary) dynamics. In paper, briefly outline differences between classical theory. We then introduce G function framework, deriving model from fundamental biological principles. concept G-function species, explain process modeling with functions, define conditions for stable (ESS). conclude by presenting expository examples construction simulations context predator–prey drug resistance cancer.
