8 The norm game - how a norm fails
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the simulations of the norm game between players at nodes of a directed random network. The final boldness of the players can vary with the initial one as the Θ function. One of the conditions of this behaviour is that the player who does not punish automatically becomes a defector. The threshold value of the initial boldness can be interpreted as a norm strength. It increases with the punishment and decreases with its cost. Surprisingly, it also decreases with the number of potential punishers. The numerical results are discussed in the context of the statistical data on crimes in Northern Ireland and New Zealand, on divorces in USA, and on the alcohol consumption in Poland.

Norm Game and Indirect Regulation of Multi Agents Society
In this paper we focus on agent society and its indirect control. For the purpose we deal with the norm game as a material and introduce replicator dynamics (RD) of norm game. The norm game was introduced by R. Axelrod to explain how norm collapse [1]. We reformulate the norm game as a weak coupling model between two 1 dimensional RD. The one represents population dynamics of alternatives {C,D}...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Fuzzy Inner Product Spaces
In the present paper, we investigate a connection between two fuzzy inner product one of which arises from Felbin's fuzzy norm and the other is based on Bag and Samanta's fuzzy norm. Also we show that, considering a fuzzy inner product space, how one can construct another kind of fuzzy inner product on this space.

Introduction In this paper, we intend to show that without any certain growth condition on the weight function, we always able to present a weighted sup-norm on the upper half plane in terms of weighted sup-norm on the unit disc and supremum of holomorphic functions on the certain lines in the upper half plane. Material and methods We use a certain transform between the unit dick and the uppe...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Avoiding the Use of Pesticides to Greenhouse Vegetables in Bandar Abbas District (Iran)
Despite huge environmental, economic, health, and social costs of pesticides, evidence revealed that farmers in developing countries would continue to use pesticides. The root of the problem appears to be related to the way of farmers’ decision making. As such, it is crucial for policymakers to understand how farmers think and behave with regard to these inputs. Therefore, the aim of this resea...
