The evolution of cooperation in two-dimensional mobile populations with random and strategic dispersal

Weishaar, Kyle; Erovenko, Igor V. - In: Games 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1-16

We investigate the effect of the environment dimensionality and different dispersal strategies on the evolution of cooperation in a finite structured population of mobile individuals. We consider a population consisting of cooperators and free-riders residing on a two-dimensional lattice with...

On the impact of an intermediary agent in the ultimatum game

Haruvy, Ernan; Roth, Yefim - In: Games 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1-16

Delegating bargaining to an intermediary agent is common practice in many situations. The proposer, while not actively bargaining, sets constraints on the intermediary agent's offer. We study ultimatum games where proposers delegate bargaining to an intermediary agent by setting boundaries on...

Looking for a "genuine science of politics" : William H. Riker and the game theoretical turn in political science

Damiani, Gianluca - 2022

Game Theory in Political Science. Our focus will be on American political scientist William H. Riker (1920-1993). We want … to show how Riker used game theory and adapted it to fulfill his disciplinary agenda, contrasting the main trends in … quite sharply from postwar mathematical economics to which game theory belonged. Sections 1 and 2 describe Riker’s education …

Partial order games

Zahoransky, Valeria; Gutierrez, Julian; Harrenstein, Paul; … - In: Games 13 (2022) 1, pp. 1-49

We introduce a non-cooperative game model in which players' decision nodes are partially ordered by a dependence relation, which directly captures informational dependencies in the game. In saying that a decision node v is dependent on decision nodes v1,…,vk, we mean that the information...

Dynamic programming for computing power indices for weighted voting games with precoalitions

Staudacher, Jochen; Wagner, Felix; Filipp, Jan - In: Games 13 (2022) 1, pp. 1-17

We study the efficient computation of power indices for weighted voting games with precoalitions amongst subsets of players (reflecting, e.g., ideological proximity) using the paradigm of dynamic programming. Starting from the state-of-the-art algorithms for computing the Banzhaf and...

Mean-payoff games with ω-regular specifications

Gutierrez, Julian; Steeples, Thomas; Wooldridge, Michael J. - In: Games 13 (2022) 1, pp. 1-37

Multi-player mean-payoff games are a natural formalism for modelling the behaviour of concurrent and multi-agent systems with self-interested players. Players in such a game traverse a graph, while attempting to maximise a (mean-)payoff function that depends on the play generated. As with all...
