... These specify the order of play, the information and choices available to every player when it is his turn to play, the payoffs to the players, and (sometimes) the probability of moves by nature – see Figure 1: Note: Each ‘node’ represents a point in the game where a player needs to make a decision. ...

Evolutionary Game Theory and Population Dynamics
... In Chapter 8, we discuss populations with random matching of players in well-mixed populations. We review recent results concerning the dependence of the long-run behavior of such systems on the number of players and the noise level. In the case of two-player games with two symmetric Nash equilibria ...

Prisoner`s Dilemma with Talk∗

When communication is included it is taken to be “cheap talk” that does not oblige the players in any way. However there are situations where com ...

A strategy profile (a combination of strategies, one for each player) is a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium if and only if no player has an incentive to deviate in a single stage or subgame and conform to his original strategy thereafter.

A note on pre-play communication

All of the approaches make the constraints sufficiently weak so that agents can still m ...
