Strategy abundance in 2x2 games for arbitrary mutation rates.

چکیده
We study evolutionary game dynamics in a well-mixed populations of finite size, N. A well-mixed population means that any two individuals are equally likely to interact. In particular we consider the average abundances of two strategies, A and B, under mutation and selection. The game dynamical interaction between the two strategies is given by the 2x2 payoff matrix (acbd). It has previously been shown that A is more abundant than B, if a(N-2)+bN>cN+d(N-2). This result has been derived for particular stochastic processes that operate either in the limit of asymptotically small mutation rates or in the limit of weak selection. Here we show that this result holds in fact for a wide class of stochastic birth-death processes for arbitrary mutation rate and for any intensity of selection.

متن کاملEVO-2x2: a Modelling Framework to Study the Evolution of Strategies in 2x2 Symmetric Games under Various Competing Assumptions
This paper describes EVO-2x2, a computer simulation modelling framework designed to formally investigate the evolution of strategies in 2-player 2-strategy (2x2) symmetric games under various competing assumptions. EVO2x2 enables the user to explore the implications of alternative assumptions (all of which are fully consistent with the essence of the theory of evolution) in a coherent and syste...
متن کاملEscaping Prisoner's Dilemmas: From Discord to Harmony in the Landscape of 2x2 Games
Changes in payoffs can transform Prisoner's Dilemma and other social dilemmas into harmonious win-win games. Using the Robinson-Goforth topology of 2x2 games, this paper analyzes how payoff swaps turn Prisoner's Dilemma into other games, compares Prisoner's Dilemmas with other families of games, traces paths that affect the difficulty of transforming Prisoner's Dilemma and other social dilemmas...
متن کاملAndrea Gallice: Best Responding to What? A Behavioral Approach to One Shot Play in 2x2 Games
We introduce a simple procedure to be used for selecting the strategies most likely to be played by inexperienced agents who interact in one shot 2x2 games. We start with an axiomatic description of a function that may capture players’ beliefs. Various proposals connected with the concept of mixed strategy Nash equilibrium do not match this description. On the other hand minimax regret obeys al...
