Adaptationism maintains that natural selection is the principal factor causing evolutionary change. This statement is in need of qualification. Indeed, Peter Godfrey-Smith finds several possible usages of the term adaptationism. Steven Orzack and Elliott Sober argue that for adaptationism to be an interesting research program it has to be given in a reasonably strong form. Such a reasonably str...

We combine incentive, adaptive, and time-scale dynamics to study multipopulation dynamics on the simplex equipped with a large class of Riemmanian metrics, simultaneously generalizing and extending many dynamics commonly studied in dynamic game theory and evolutionary dynamics. Each population has its own geometry, method of adaptation (incentive), and time-scale (discrete, continuous, and othe...

The relationships between game theory and quantum mechanics let us propose certain quantization relationships through which we could describe and understand not only quantum but also classical, evolutionary and the biological systems that were described before through the replicator dynamics. Quantum mechanics could be used to explain more correctly biological and economical processes and even ...

Game theory has been successfully applied in biology as a method for studying evolution. However, biologists approached game theory in a different way as economists have done. In the introduction to his influential book, John Maynard Smith (1982) states the differences between evolutionary game theory —the application of game theory to biology— and the traditional economic approach to game theo...

A number of algorithms based on the evolutionary processing have been proposed forcommunication networks backbone such as Genetic Algorithm (GA). However, there has beenlittle work on the SWARM optimization algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) for backbone topology design. In this paper, the performance of PSO on GA isdiscussed and a new algorithm as PSOGA is proposed for the net...

Evolutionary Game Theory originated as an application of Game Theory in modelling evolution of animals in biology. However, the subsequent developments in Evolutionary Game Theory have made it more readily applicable in the areas where Game Theory is applied. This paper investigates the applicability of Evolutionary Game Theory in wireless Ad Hoc Networks and uses its concepts to build a mathem...
