Efficiency in evolutionary games: Darwin, Nash and the secret handshake.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Jun 1990

Robson A J

Abstract excerpt

This paper considers any evolutionary game possessing several evolutionarily stable strategies, or ESSs, with differing payoffs. A mutant is introduced which will "destroy" any ESS which yields a lower payoff than another. This mutant possesses a costless signal and also conditions on the presenc...
