Collective behavior and evolutionary games - An introduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is an introduction to the special issue titled “Collective behavior and evolutionary games” that is in the making at Chaos, Solitons & Fractals. The term collective behavior covers many different phenomena in nature and society. From bird flocks and fish swarms to social movements and herding effects [1–5], it is the lack of a central planner that makes the spontaneous emergence of sometimes beautifully ordered and seemingly meticulously designed behavior all the more sensational and intriguing. The goal of the special issue is to attract submissions that identify unifying principles that describe the essential aspects of collective behavior, and which thus allow for a better interpretation and foster the understanding of the complexity arising in such systems. As the title of the special issue suggests, the later may come from the realm of evolutionary games, but this is certainly not a necessity, neither for this special issue, and certainly not in general. Interdisciplinary work on all aspects of collective behavior, regardless of background and motivation, and including synchronization [6–8] and human cognition [9], is very welcome.

متن کاملExploring Market Behaviors with Evolutionary Mixed-Games Learning Model
The minority game (MG) is a simple model for understanding collective behavior of agents competing for a limited resource. Ma et. al [7] assumed that collective data can be generated from combination of behaviors of variant groups of agents and proposed the minority game data mining (MGDM) model. In this paper, to further explore collective behaviors, we propose a new behavior learning model ba...
متن کاملA Strategy with Novel Evolutionary Features for the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma
In recent iterated prisoner's dilemma tournaments, the most successful strategies were those that had identification mechanisms. By playing a predetermined sequence of moves and learning from their opponents' responses, these strategies managed to identify their opponents. We believe that these identification mechanisms may be very useful in evolutionary games. In this paper one such strategy, ...
متن کاملEvolutionary Dynamics of Strategic Behavior in a Collective-Risk Dilemma
A collective-risk social dilemma arises when a group must cooperate to reach a common target in order to avoid the risk of collective loss while each individual is tempted to free-ride on the contributions of others. In contrast to the prisoners' dilemma or public goods games, the collective-risk dilemma encompasses the risk that all individuals lose everything. These characteristics have poten...
متن کاملSmall groups and long memories promote cooperation
Complex social behaviors lie at the heart of many of the challenges facing evolutionary biology, sociology, economics, and beyond. For evolutionary biologists the question is often how group behaviors such as collective action, or decision making that accounts for memories of past experience, can emerge and persist in an evolving system. Evolutionary game theory provides a framework for formali...
