Hypergame Theory for DTGT Agents

Advances in Hypergame Theory

This articles reprises findings from hypergame work in Vane’s doctoral dissertation [Vane 2000] that are directly applicable to decision-theoretic (DT) and game-theoretic (GT), or simply, DTGT agents. Hypergame theory meets many of the methodological requirements for bounded rationality agent research. While this early hypergame work considered expected value and worst case scenarios (from adve...

A Hypergame Model for Information Security

Game theory is one of the most powerful mathematical tools to model information security decision-making. However, in game theory it is assumed that all the players have complete knowledge about each player’s strategies, preferences, and decision rules used. This assumption is very strong, in reality there is often significant information asymmetry between players. In many real world situations...

Multi-Population Replicator Dynamics with Changes of Interpretations of Strategies

In this paper, we propose multi-population replicator dynamics with changes of players’ interpretations. We consider that each population has various interpretation functions and choose one of them depending on payoffs. We propose a model representing changes of the interpretation functions according to the payoffs. Moreover, we apply our proposed model to a well-known example of a hypergame “S...
