Enhancing game theory with coevolutionary simulation models of honest signalling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Game-theoretic models provide a rigorous mathematical modelling framework, but tractability considerations keep them simple. In contrast, Evolutionary Simulation Models (ESMs) may be complex, but can lack rigour. We demonstrate that careful synthesis of the two techniques provides improved insights into the processes underlying the evolution of cooperative signalling systems.

A Continuous Evolutionary Simulation Model of theAttainability of Honest Signalling EquilibriaSeth
A particular game-theoretic model (Grafen, 1990) of the evolutionary stability of honest signalling, which attempts a formal proof of the validity of Zahavi's (1975, 1977) handicap principle, is generalised and rendered as an evolutionary simulation model. In addition to supporting new theoretical results, this allows the eeects of diiering initial conditions on the attainability of signalling ...
متن کاملTalk is cheap: Evolved strategies for communication and action in asymmetrical animal contests
Animal contests over resources are often settled by displays rather than ghting. Contests may involve asymmetries that cannot be perceived, such as unequal ghting ability. Classical game-theoretic accounts suggest that talk is cheap, and that honest signals conveying information about an asymmetry should not be expected. A model by Enquist (1985) reaches the opposite conclusion , and predicts r...
متن کاملGame Theory Based Coevolutionary Algorithm: A New Computational Coevolutionary Approach
Game theory is a method of mathematical analysis developed to study the decision making process. In 1928, Von Neumann mathematically proved that every two-person, zerosum game with many pure finite strategies for each player is deterministic. In the early 50's, Nash presented another concept as the basis for a generalization of Von Neumann’s theorem. Another central achievement of game theory i...
متن کاملSignalling among relatives. II. Beyond the tower of Babel.
Models of costly signalling are commonly employed in evolutionary biology in order to explain how honest communication between individuals with conflicting interests can be stable. These models have focused primarily on a single type of honest signalling equilibrium, the separating equilibrium in which any two different signallers send distinct signals, thereby providing signal receivers with c...
