The use of multiplayer game theory in the modelling of biological populations
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of game theory in modelling the natural world is widespread. However this modelling mainly involves two player games only, or ‘playing the field’ games where an individual plays against an entire (infinite) population. Game theoretic models are common in economics as well, but in this case the use of multiplayer games has not been neglected. This paper outlines where multiplayer games have been used in evolutionary modelling and the merits and limitations of these games. Finally we discuss why there has been so little use of multiplayer games in the biological setting and what developments might be useful.

Application of Stochastic Optimal Control, Game Theory and Information Fusion for Cyber Defense Modelling
The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches. In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques. Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games. Applying jump processes we propose some m...
متن کاملGAME OF COORDINATION FOR BACTERIAL PATTERN FORMATION: A FINITE AUTOMATA MODELLING
In this paper, we use game theory to describe the emergence of self-organization and consequent pattern formation through communicative cooperation in Bacillus subtilis colonies. The emergence of cooperative regime is modelled as an n-player Assurance game, with the bacterial colonies as individual players. The game is played iteratively through cooperative communication, and mediated by exchan...
متن کاملA mathematical model of the effect of subsidy transfer in cooperative advertising using differential game theory
This work deals with subsidy transfer from a manufacturer to a retailer through the distributor in cooperative advertising. While the retailer engages in local advertising, the manufacturer indirectly participates in retail advertising using advertising subsidy which is given to the distributor, who in turn transfers it to the retailer. The manufacturer is the Stackelberg game leader; the distr...

Urban growth is a dynamic and evolutionary spatial and social process that relates to the changes of urban spatial units and the transformation of people’s lifestyles and consequently demographic changes. Considering the urban development process as a function of land uses interactions, population structure and the strategic behavior of the agents involved in the urban development process (the ...
متن کاملThe role of Gamification in Knowledge Sharing using Grounded Theory and MAXQDA Qualitative Modeling
Background and Aim: Today, knowledge is essential to the survival and success of any organization. Given that they are the people who create, share and use knowledge, an organization cannot effectively use knowledge unless its employees are willing to share their knowledge and attract knowledge of others. On the other hand, Gamification involves combining the usual mechanisms in the games with ...
