Benefits of Cooperation in Multiplayer Coupon Collectors' Games

چکیده
The paper introduces a modified version of the classical Coupon Collector’s Problem entailing exchanges and cooperation between multiple players. Results of the development show that, within a proper Markov framework, the complexity of the Cooperative Multiplayer Coupon Collectors’ Problem can be attacked with an eye to the modeling of social strategies and community behaviors. The cost of cooperation is computed in terms of exchange protocol burden and found to be dependent on only ensemble parameters such as the number of players and the number of coupons but not on the detailed collection statistics. The benefits of cooperation are quantified in terms of reduction of the average number of actions before collection completion. Benefits of Cooperation in Multiplayer Coupon Collectors’ Games

متن کاملEvolutionary Games of Multiplayer Cooperation on Graphs
There has been much interest in studying evolutionary games in structured populations, often modeled as graphs. However, most analytical results so far have only been obtained for two-player or linear games, while the study of more complex multiplayer games has been usually tackled by computer simulations. Here we investigate evolutionary multiplayer games on graphs updated with a Moran death-B...
متن کاملMeasuring Cooperative Behavior in Contemporary Multiplayer Games
Social aspects of multiplayer games are well known as contributors to game success, with online friendships and socialization expected to expand and strengthen a player-base. Understanding the nature of social behavior and determining the impact of cooperation on gameplay is thus important to game design. In this work, we make use of data exposed through in-game and web-based API’s of two conte...
متن کاملThreshold Games and Cooperation on Multiplayer Graphs
OBJECTIVE The study investigates the effect on cooperation in multiplayer games, when the population from which all individuals are drawn is structured-i.e. when a given individual is only competing with a small subset of the entire population. METHOD To optimize the focus on multiplayer effects, a class of games were chosen for which the payoff depends nonlinearly on the number of cooperator...
متن کاملConflict management and leadership communication in multiplayer communities
Online multiplayer games often promote long-term cooperation between players. The resulting player groups and communities can be harmonious and long-lived, but it is equally possible that they encounter problems in building trust, managing the community effort, or negotiating values and goals. Conflict management, therefore, is important for the functioning and stability of multiplayer communit...
