We report the results of a simulation investigating in which circumstances communicative conventions emerge and can be maintained within a population of agents under different selective pressures. We will give a game theoretical analysis of few relevant cases. We will then report our empirical results of the error threshold phenomenon analytically proved in Nowak et al. [2].

In this note the concept of solidarity value in cooperative game theory is discussed. The value proposed by Nowak & Radzik is analyzed in terms of shifts of c-diagrams. The value is shown to be equal to the Shapley value for a shifted game. A general approach to a theory of solidarity is developed in terms of ”keep” and ”give” vectors.

Ordinal automata are used to model physical systems with Zeno behavior. Using automata and games techniques we solve a control problem formulated and left open by Demri and Nowak in 2005. It involves partial observability and a new synchronization between the controller and the environment.
