An ESS being a refinement of Nash equilibrium concept is a stable strategy in an evolutionary game with replicator dynamic as the underlying process. We investigate ESSs in two and three player symmetric quantum games played by the proposed scheme of applying ′id...

Motorcycle riders, however, account for a relatively high proportion of road traffic-related fatalities and injuries in such countries.
