Extensive Form Games and Subgame Perfection
... him(A, G) and (A, H), even though once A is chosen the G-versus-H choice is moot. The definition of best response and Nash equilibria in this game are exactly as they are in for normal form games. Indeed, this example illustrates how every perfectinformation game can be converted to an equivalent no ...

Simple Search Methods for Finding a Nash Equilibrium
... Algorithm 1 can be interpreted as using the general backtracking algorithm (see, e.g., (Dechter 2003)) to solve a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) for each support size profile. The variables in each CSP are the supports Si , and the domain of each Si is the set of supports of size xi . While t ...

Evolutionary game theory
Evolutionary game theory (EGT) is the application of game theory to evolving populations of lifeforms in biology. EGT is useful in this context by defining a framework of contests, strategies, and analytics into which Darwinian competition can be modelled. EGT originated in 1973 with John Maynard Smith and George R. Price's formalisation of the way in which such contests can be analysed as ""strategies"" and the mathematical criteria that can be used to predict the resulting prevalence of such competing strategies.Evolutionary game theory differs from classical game theory by focusing more on the dynamics of strategy change as influenced not solely by the quality of the various competing strategies, but by the effect of the frequency with which those various competing strategies are found in the population.Evolutionary game theory has proven itself to be invaluable in helping to explain many complex and challenging aspects of biology. It has been particularly helpful in establishing the basis of altruistic behaviours within the context of Darwinian process. Despite its origin and original purpose, evolutionary game theory has become of increasing interest to economists, sociologists, anthropologists, and philosophers.
