Collapse of cooperation in evolving games.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 9 Dec 2014

Stewart Alexander J, Plotkin Joshua B

Abstract excerpt

Game theory provides a quantitative framework for analyzing the behavior of rational agents. The Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma in particular has become a standard model for studying cooperation and cheating, with cooperation often emerging as a robust outcome in evolving populations. Here we extend evolutionary game theory by allowing players' payoffs as well as their strategies to evolve in response to selection...
