Evolutionary game theory has grown into an active area of research that bridges concepts from biology, evolution, nonlinear dynamics, and game theory. The mechanisms necessary to conduct an evolutionary analysis of games are presented. Relations between evolutionary stable strategies and Nash equilibria are considered. Replicator dynamics are developed and applied to three relevant games. The a...

In this paper we describe evolutionary heuristics for numerically solving systems of several, interdependent optimisation problems. They can be used for the solution of some games with simultaneous moves of the players (Nash equilibria), asynchronous moves (Stackelberg equilibria), or a mix of these situations. The application is possible in cases where the presence of non-convexities, integral...

Game theory research on the snowdrift game has showed that gradual evolution of the continuously varying level of cooperation in joint enterprises can demonstrate evolutionary merging as well as evolutionary branching. However, little is known about the consequences of changes in diversity at the cooperation level. In the present study I consider effects of costly rewards on the continuous snow...

Game theory focuses on payoffs and typically ignores time constraints that play an important role in evolutionary processes where the repetition of games can depend on the strategies, too. We introduce a matrix game under time constraints, where each pairwise interaction has two consequences: both players receive a payoff and they cannot play the next game for a specified time duration. Thus ou...

This paper demonstrates by simulations, applied to the hawk dove game, evidence which favors the interface theory of perception. Multiple simulation built around the basic evolutionary hawk dove game, and asexual genetic/simulated annealing experiment upon the hawk dove game. The experiments and data are explained in the context of how the corroborate the interface theory of perception. Backgro...

objective: to classify different types of acute leukemia based on cooperative game theory and shapley value. materials and methods: in this study, patients data were collected from flow cytometry tests of the iran blood transfusion organization (ibto) have been used. 304 different diagnosed samples in 8 classes of acute leukemia were investigated. samples were initially in numerical format. i...

most of the time, groups/communities are involved in negotiations and disputations due to their various interests. they are always trying to pursuit their aspiration to embrace changes and influence on events. although sometimes these groups are not completely opposed to each other and their intention is just to get the desired results, almost always their conditions are in contrast with each o...

The Shahshahani geometry of evolutionary game theory is realized as the information geometry of the simplex, deriving from the Fisher information metric of the manifold of categorical probability distributions. Some essential concepts in evolutionary game theory are realized information-theoretically. Results are extended to the Lotka-Volterra equation and to multiple population systems.
