一句话总结

本文将细胞博弈定义为动力系统,其中格点上的细胞根据与邻居的互动选择策略,并通过成功标准判断策略的持久性。研究发现纳什均衡不一定是稳定的;对于对称的、零深度的双策略博弈,初始策略区域要么在两个方向同时扩展,要么完全消失,模拟结果表明存在两种不同的渐近行为。

ABSTRACT

A cellular game is a dynamical system in which cells, placed in some discrete structure, are regarded as playing a game with their immediate neighbors. Individual strategies may be either deterministic or stochastic. Strategy success is measured according to some universal and unchanging criterion. Successful strategies persist and spread; unsuccessful ones disappear. In this thesis, two cellular game models are formally defined, and are compared to cellular automata. Computer simulations of these models are presented. Conditions providing maximal average cell success, on one and two-dimensional lattices, are examined. It is shown that these conditions are not necessarily stable; and an example of such instability is analyzed. It is also shown that Nash equilibrium strategies are not necessarily stable. Finally, a particular kind of zero-depth, two-strategy cellular game is discussed; such a game is called a simple cellular game. It is shown that if a simple cellular game is left/right symmetric, and if there are initially only finitely many cells using one strategy, the zone in which this strategy occurs has probability 0 of expanding arbitrarily far in one direction only. With probability 1, it will either expand in both directions or disappear. Computer simulations of such games are presented. These experiments suggest the existence of two different kinds of asymptotic behavior. iii To My Mother, Dinah Green Levine iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Julian Palmore, for his guidance and support.

研究动机与目标

  • 将细胞博弈形式化为动力系统,其中细胞策略基于局部互动演化。
  • 比较细胞博弈与细胞自动机在结构和行为上的异同。
  • 识别在1D和2D格点上使平均细胞成功率最大化的条件。
  • 研究在给定动态下,细胞博弈中纳什均衡策略的稳定性。
  • 分析在对称约束下,零深度双策略细胞博弈的渐近行为。

提出的方法

  • 对具有确定性和随机性策略的两种细胞博弈模型进行形式化定义。
  • 使用计算机模拟探索1D和2D格点上的策略动态。
  • 应用统一且不变的成功标准来衡量策略的适应度。
  • 基于成功度量分析策略的持久性与传播。
  • 定义并研究具有零深度、双策略动态的简单细胞博弈。
  • 利用对称性约束——特别是左右对称性——推导策略区域的概率行为。

实验结果

研究问题

  • RQ1在1D和2D格点上,细胞博弈中平均细胞成功率在何种条件下达到最大?
  • RQ2在给定动态下,细胞博弈中的纳什均衡策略是否必然稳定?
  • RQ3在对称的、零深度的双策略细胞博弈中,策略区域的空间扩展会发生什么情况?
  • RQ4在这样的博弈中,策略区域是否可能仅在一个方向上无限扩展?
  • RQ5在对称的、零深度细胞博弈的模拟中,会涌现出何种类型的渐近行为?

主要发现

  • 细胞博弈中的纳什均衡策略不一定是稳定的,表明均衡并不保证长期持久。
  • 在对称的、零深度的双策略细胞博弈中,策略区域在仅一个方向上无限扩展的概率为零。
  • 在这样的博弈中,策略区域以概率1要么在两个方向同时扩展,要么完全消失。
  • 模拟结果表明,对称的、零深度细胞博弈中存在两种截然不同的长期渐近行为。
  • 在格点上实现最大平均细胞成功率的条件不一定是稳定的,这一结论通过分析和模拟分析得到验证。
  • 在对称性约束下,即使规则是确定性的,细胞博弈中策略传播的动力学本质上仍是概率性的。
