Game theory has been successfully applied in biology as a method for studying evolution. However, biologists approached game theory in a different way as economists have done. In the introduction to his influential book, John Maynard Smith (1982) states the differences between evolutionary game theory —the application of game theory to biology— and the traditional economic approach to game theo...

Evolutionary Game Theory originated as an application of Game Theory in modelling evolution of animals in biology. However, the subsequent developments in Evolutionary Game Theory have made it more readily applicable in the areas where Game Theory is applied. This paper investigates the applicability of Evolutionary Game Theory in wireless Ad Hoc Networks and uses its concepts to build a mathem...

The Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) game is a widely used model system in game theory. Evolutionary game theory predicts the existence of persistent cycles in the evolutionary trajectories of the RPS game, but experimental evidence has remained to be rather weak. In this work we performed laboratory experiments on the RPS game and analyzed the social-state evolutionary trajectories of twelve populati...
