How can groups incentivize cooperative behavior when news about behavior spreads slowly or limitedly? I present a game-theoretic model in which rational agents encounter inand out-group members at random and communicate about their encounters according to a fixed, possibly incomplete communication network determined by their social structure. The novel approach presented here makes the study of...

Starting Position The starting position is the assumption that one has to cope with experimental optimization, i.e., there is no mathematical description or a simulator for the system to be optimized: you are optimizing a real object at hardware level! Since the interrelationships between the variable input parameters and the dependent output behavior are unknown, we encounter a black box situa...

In recent iterated prisoner's dilemma tournaments, the most successful strategies were those that had identification mechanisms. By playing a predetermined sequence of moves and learning from their opponents' responses, these strategies managed to identify their opponents. We believe that these identification mechanisms may be very useful in evolutionary games. In this paper one such strategy, ...
