The task of understanding coevolutionary algorithms is a very difficult one. These algorithms search landscapes which are in some sense adaptive. As a result, the dynamical behaviors of coevolutionary systems can frequently be even more complex than traditional evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Moreover, traditional EA theory tells us little about coevolutionary algorithms. One major question that...

This paper proposes an approach towards modeling an actor system, especially suited to describe a company’s organization, based on game theory [11] and learning-based (evolutionary) local optimization. This method relies on the combination of three techniques: sampling for simulation (Monte-Carlo), game theory as far as the search for equilibrium is concerned and heuristic local search methods,...

In the differential game theory, problems of minimax and maximin are resolved. In these types of approaches, the minimization or maximization of a functional is carried out, which is provided by means of the criterion of a quadratic integral whose parameters are: the coordinates of the dynamic system, the control information and the defined, positive, pondering matrices. These defined, positive...

Game theory research on the snowdrift game has showed that gradual evolution of the continuously varying level of cooperation in joint enterprises can demonstrate evolutionary merging as well as evolutionary branching. However, little is known about the consequences of changes in diversity at the cooperation level. In the present study I consider effects of costly rewards on the continuous snow...

Game theory focuses on payoffs and typically ignores time constraints that play an important role in evolutionary processes where the repetition of games can depend on the strategies, too. We introduce a matrix game under time constraints, where each pairwise interaction has two consequences: both players receive a payoff and they cannot play the next game for a specified time duration. Thus ou...

objective: to classify different types of acute leukemia based on cooperative game theory and shapley value. materials and methods: in this study, patients data were collected from flow cytometry tests of the iran blood transfusion organization (ibto) have been used. 304 different diagnosed samples in 8 classes of acute leukemia were investigated. samples were initially in numerical format. i...

Most of the work in evolutionary game theory starts with a model of a social situation that gives rise to a particular payoff matrix and analyses how behaviour evolves through natural selection. Here, we invert this approach and ask, given a model of how individuals behave, how the payoff matrix will evolve through natural selection. In particular, we ask whether a prisoner's dilemma game is st...
