We study a class of population games called stable games. These games are characterized by self-defeating externalities: when agents revise their strategies, the improvements in the payoffs of strategies to which revising agents are switching are always exceeded by the improvements in the payoffs of strategies which revising agents are abandoning. We prove that the set of Nash equilibria of a s...

‎Financial market modeling and prediction is a difficult problem and drastic changes of the price causes nonlinear dynamic that makes the price prediction one of the most challenging tasks for economists‎. ‎Since markets always have been interesting for traders‎, ‎many traders with various beliefs are highly active in a market‎. ‎The competition among two agents of traders‎, ‎namely trend follo...

It has been drawn to our attention that the instability found here for zero determinant (ZD) strategies only applies to the set of coercive strategies we considered, which is a subset of all possible ZD strategies. In the Article, we pointed out that the set of ZD strategies investigated by Press and Dyson1 was not stable under Darwinian evolution. We speculated that the instability we noted wo...

Many traits and/or strategies expressed by organisms are quantitative phenotypes. Because populations are of finite size and genomes are subject to mutations, these continuously varying phenotypes are under the joint pressure of mutation, natural selection and random genetic drift. This article derives the stationary distribution for such a phenotype under a mutation-selection-drift balance in ...

By using differential equations, evolutionary game theory shows that most of the games of competition for resources have equilibrium strategies named Evolutionary Stable. Although this approach can deduce these points, it is not possible to say how or whether a population will reach such equilibrium. We present an evolutionary agent-based model where individuals compete for space using mixed st...

Whether the MNCs transfer their technologies to Chinese enterprises has become a significant issue for China to implement catch-up strategies .This paper introduces the evolutionary game theory to the field of technology transfer, sets up the evolutionary game model according to the strategies of technology transfer in two types of MNCs that set up factories in China early or late, and analyzes...

The iterated prisoner's dilemma game has been used extensively in the study of the evolution of cooperative behaviours in social and biological systems. The concept of evolutionary stability provides a useful tool to analyse strategies for playing the game. Most results on evolutionary stability, however, are based on the 2-person iterated prisoner's dilemma game. This paper extends the results...

This paper proposes and evaluates a multiobjective evolutionary game theoretic framework for adaptive and stable application deployment in clouds that support dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) for CPUs. The proposed algorithm, called AGEGT, aids cloud operators to adapt the resource allocation to applications and their locations according to the operational conditions in a cloud (e.g...
