Evolutionary Multiplayer Games

摘要: Evolutionary game theory has become one of the most diverse and far reaching theories in biology. Applications this range from cell dynamics to social evolution. However, many applications make it clear that inherent non-linearities natural systems need be taken into account. One way introducing such evolutionary games is by inclusion multiple players. An example are dilemmas, where group benefits could e.g. increase less than linear with number cooperators. Such multiplayer can introduced all fields already well established. help advance analysis which known complex, case non-Mendelian inheritance. We review diachronic present current state field. Our aim a summary theoretical results well-mixed populations infinite as finite populations. also discuss examples three been successfully applied, ecology, sciences population genetics. In closing, we probe certain future directions explored using complexity while preserving promise simplicity games.
