We study a complementarity game as a systematic tool for the investigation of the interplay between individual optimization and population effects and for the comparison of different strategy and learning schemes. The game randomly pairs players from opposite populations. It is symmetric at the...

According to the Darwinian theory of evolution, adaptation results from spontaneously generated genetic variation and natural selection. Mathematical models of this process can be seen as describing a dynamics on an algebraic structure which in turn is defined by the processes which generate...
