In bi-matrix games the Bishop-Cannings theorem of the classical evolutionary game theory does not permit pure evolutionarily stable strategies (ESSs) when a mixed ESS exists. We find the necessary form of twoqubit initial quantum states when a switch-over to a quantum version of the game also changes the evolutionary stability of a mixed symmetric Nash equilibrium. PACS: 02.50.Le, 03.67.-a, 87....

Emotions obviously play an important role in human behavior. This study seeks to determine why emotions may have evolved. It is speculated that one’s genes seek to influence the individual beyond merely the construction of the individual’s body at birth. Game theoretic methods have been employed, to search for Evolutionary Stable Strategies (ESSs) that would make it more likely for an individua...

Extrapair paternity has been observed in many formally monogamous species. Male pursuit of extrapair fertilizations is explained by the advantages of having offspring that receive essential paternal care from other males. Since females are capable of exercising a degree of control over the post-copulatory sperm competition, extrapair paternity cannot persist unless it confers fitness benefits o...

To achieve overall business goals, GQM+Strategies® is an approach that aligns the business goals at each level of an organization to strategies and assesses the achievement of goals. Strategies derived from business goals are based on rationales (context factors and assumptions). Because extracting all rationales is an important process in the GQM+Strategies approach, we propose Context-Assumpt...

Nash equilibrium is widely present in various social disputes. As of now, in structured static populations, such as social networks, regular, and random graphs, the discussions on Nash equilibrium are quite limited. In a relatively stable static gaming network, a rational individual has to comprehensively consider all his/her opponents' strategies before they adopt a unified strategy. In this s...

Abstract A further generalization of the stochastic replicator dynamic derived by Fudenberg and Harris [12] is considered. In particular, a Poissonian integral is introduced to the fitness to simulate the affects of anomalous events. For the two strategy population, an estimation of the long run behavior of the dynamic is derived. For the population with many strategies, conditions for stabilit...

Conservation tillage (CT) systems have a number of potential benefits including lower crop production costs and the ability to reduce soil erosion that have made them common in several regions of the world. Although CT systems have been researched and successfully implemented on some farms in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV), overall adoption is low and the reasons for the region's compara...
