Evolutionary Game Theory is the study of strategic interactions among large populations of agents who base their decisions on simple, myopic rules. A major goal of the theory is to determine broad classes of decision procedures which both provide plausible descriptions of selfish behaviour and include appealing forms of aggregate behaviour. For example, properties such as the correlation betwee...

Humans have marvelled at the fit of form and function, the way organisms' traits seem remarkably suited to their lifestyles and ecologies. While natural selection provides the scientific basis for the fit of form and function, Darwin found certain adaptations vexing or particularly intriguing: sex ratios, sexual selection and altruism. The logic behind these adaptations resides in frequency-dep...

Wireless mesh networks are a powerful and reliable solution to create and access wireless broadband services for Internet service providers, network construction, military applications and other end users are considered. These networks have features such as high reliability, low installation cost, wide coverage area and connect to the network automatically. The QoS routing service is a primary ...

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) often suffer from intermittent disruption due to factors such as mobility and energy. Though lots of routing algorithms in DTNs have been proposed in the last few years, the routing security problems have not attracted enough attention. DTNs are still facing the threats from different kinds of routing attacks. In this paper, a general purpose defense mechanism is ...

Evolutionary dynamics shape the living world around us. At the centre of every evolutionary process is a population of reproducing individuals. The structure of that population affects evolutionary dynamics. The individuals can be molecules, cells, viruses, multicellular organisms or humans. Whenever the fitness of individuals depends on the relative abundance of phenotypes in the population, w...

A commonly used assumption in evolutionary game theory is that natural selection acts on individuals in the same time scale; e.g., players use the same frequency to update their strategies. Variation in learning rates within populations suggests that evolutionary game theory may not necessarily be restricted to uniform time scales associated with the game interaction and strategy adaption evolu...

Detecting Equilibria in Game Theory – Evolutionary Approach

Theoretical developments in evolution and ecology have undergone a sea change since the inception of evolutionary game theory in the early seventies. In combination with population genetics, this has enabled theoretical aspects of biological systems to be understood at the genotypic as well as the phenotypic level. This understanding has pervaded a plethora of fields from language evolution to ...

However, again, game theory is static. Evolutionary game theory (e.g. [1]), then, is a framework which makes game theory dynamic and it is possible to evaluate the dynamical behavior of the system. For example, Nash equilibria are fixpoints of the dynamic evolution of evolutionary game theory. Such fixpoints can be stable or unstable, etc.; and it is also possible to have more complicated limit...
