In this paper, we investigate the aggregate behavior of populations of learning agents. We compare the outcomes in homogenous populations learning in accordance with imitate the best dynamics and with replicator dynamics to outcomes in populations that mix these two learning rules. New outcomes can emerge. In certain games, a linear combination of the two rules almost always attains an equilibr...

In this paper, considered is the evolution of a multi agent system (MAS) where every agent of the MAS is a ball in with radius ε. Evolution of the MAS occurs with n+1 agents, called leader agents, moving independently, with rest of the agents of the MAS, called follower agents, updating their positions through communication with n+1 local neighboring agents with weights of communication of foll...

This paper extends the Todd and Miller’s (1999) mutual sequential mate search model with homogenous preferences to the case of non-homogenous preferences. Our simulations show that the size of heterogeneity in the preferences affects the performance rankings -as well as the absolute success levelsof the mate search heuristics in the model with respect to both mating likelihood and mating stabil...
