Evolutionary stability in the n-person iterated prisoner's dilemma.
نویسنده
چکیده
The iterated prisoner's dilemma game has been used extensively in the study of the evolution of cooperative behaviours in social and biological systems. The concept of evolutionary stability provides a useful tool to analyse strategies for playing the game. Most results on evolutionary stability, however, are based on the 2-person iterated prisoner's dilemma game. This paper extends the results in the 2-person game and shows that no finite mixture of pure strategies in the n-person iterated prisoner's dilemma game can be evolutionarily stable, where n > 2. The paper also shows that evolutionary stability can be achieved if mistakes are allowed in the n-person game.

متن کاملEvolutionary Analysis on Spatial Locality in N-Person Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma
The purpose of this paper is to consider the effects of spatial locality on the evolution of cooperative behavior in the N-person iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma (N-IPD) by focusing on two essentially distinct factors: the scale of interaction (which decides the neighboring members playing the N-person games) and the scale of reproduction (which decides the neighboring candidates for an offspring i...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study of N-Person Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma Games
The Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma game has been used extensively in the study of the evolution of cooperative behaviours in social and biological systems. There have been a lot of experimental studies on evolving strategies for 2-player Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma games (2IPD). However, there are many real world problems, especially many social and economic ones, which cannot be modelled by the 2...
متن کاملA Spatial Agent-Based Model of N-Person Prisoner's Dilemma Cooperation in a Socio-Geographic Community
The purpose of this paper is to present a spatial agent-based model of N-person prisoner's dilemma that is designed to simulate the collective communication and cooperation within a socio-geographic community. Based on a tight coupling of REPAST and a vector Geographic Information System, the model simulates the emergence of cooperation from the mobility behaviors and interaction strategies of ...
