The Trader’s Dilemma: A Continuous Version of the Prisoner’s Dilemma

چکیده

The Prisoner’s Dilemma is a non-zero-sum discrete two-player game. It is often used to study social phenomena like cooperation. In this paper we describe and analyze a continuous version of the Prisoner’s Dilemma, which we call the Trader’s Dilemma. The continuous version can provide further insights in the phenomenon of cooperation because it allows new types of strategies. In the 1998 revision, I have introduced the name Trader’s Dilemma. Furthermore, it includes some minor modifications and additions.

Modeling Cooperation between Nodes in Wireless Networks by APD Game

Cooperation is the foundation of many protocols in wireless networks. Without cooperation, the performance of a network significantly decreases. Hence, all nodes in traditional networks are required to cooperate with each other. In this paper, instead of traditional networks, a network of rational and autonomous nodes is considered, which means that each node itself can decide whe...

Simulation of the Enhanced Version of Prisoner’s Dilemma Game

This paper presents the model and software to explore pair interactions of objects with different behavior and their patterns. The research is based on the enhanced version of a classic prisoner’s dilemma game. The non-cooperative finite and infinite pair games with non-zero sums are investigated. Pure and mixed strategies with finite and infinite memory developed by Biology School of V. N. Kar...

Title: a Continuous Dilemma Ï¿¿ a Continuous Dilemma *

We study prisoner’s dilemmas played in continuous time with flow payoffs over 60 seconds. In most cases, the median rate of mutual cooperation rises to 90% or more. Control sessions with 8-time repeated matchings achieve less than half as much cooperation, and cooperation rates approach zero in one-shot control sessions. In follow-up sessions with a variable number of subperiods, cooperation ra...

On the suitability of the 2 x 2 games for studying reciprocal cooperation and kin selection

The 2 x 2 games, in particular the Prisoner’s Dilemma, have been extensively used in studies into reciprocal cooperation and, to a lesser extent, kin selection. This paper examines the suitability of the 2 x 2 games for modelling the evolution of cooperation through reciprocation and kin selection. This examination is not restricted to the Prisoner’s Dilemma, but includes the other non-trivial ...
