Win Stay---Lose Shift: An Elementary Learning Rule for Normal Form Games

Posch, Martin - Santa Fe Institute - 1997

In this paper we study a simple learning paradigm for iterated normal form games in an evolutionary context. Following …. On the one hand we study the evolution of such strategies for the Prisoner's Dilemma; on the other hand we consider …

Dynamics of a Simple Evolutionary Process

Stauffer, Dietrich; Newman, M. E. J. - Santa Fe Institute - 2001

We study the simple evolutionary process in which we repeatedly find the least fit agent in a population of agents and give it a new fitness which is chosen independently at random from a specified distribution. We show that many of the average properties of this process can be calculated...

Classification of Long-Term Evolutionary Dynamics

Bedau, Mark A.; Snyder, Emile; Packard, Norman H. - Santa Fe Institute - 1998

We present empirical evidence that long-term evolutionary dynamics fall into three distinct classes, depending on whether adaptive evolutionary activity is absent (class 1), bounded (class 2), or unbounded (class 3). These classes are defined using three statistics: diversity, new evolutionary...

Selection Dynamics in Autocatalytic Systems: Templates Replicating Through Binary Ligation

Wills, Peter R.; Kauffman, Stuart A.; B\"arbel M. R. Stadler - Santa Fe Institute - 1997

species is the norm because their synthesis follows a parabolic growth law. Only under certain stringent conditions is …

Optimization in Complex Networks

Cancho, Ramon Ferrer i; Solé, Ricard V. - Santa Fe Institute - 2001

Many complex systems can be described in terms of networks of interacting units. Recent studies have shown that a wide class of both natural and artificial nets display a surprisingly widespread feature: the presence of highly heterogeneous distributions of links, providing an extraordinary...

The Role of Population Size, Pleiotropy, and Fitness Effects of Mutations in the Evolution of Overlapping Gene Functions

Wagner, Andreas - Santa Fe Institute - 2000

evolution of functional overlap and mean fitness are effectively decoupled, because they occur on different time scales. As a …

Error Propagation in the Hypercycle

Campos, P. R. A.; Fontanari, J. F.; Stadler, P. F. - Santa Fe Institute - 1999

We study analytically the steady-state regime of a network of n error-prone self-replicating templates forming an asymmetric hypercycle and its error tail. We show that the existence of a master template with a higher non-catalyzed self-replicative productivity, a, than the error tail ensures...

Juvenile morphospaces are … likely to depict a range of pronounced allometries that can serve as raw material for evolution. I provide an extended … change in disparity through ontogeny.
