Preventative cancer treatments through optimizing tissue structure

Graser, Christopher - 2020

The likelihood of cancer emergence is highly dependent on the underlying tissue structure. This article gives evolutionary explanations for why natural selection fails to select for tissue structures that would minimize the likelihood of cancer. In a second step, a mathematical framework is...

Evolutionary game theory and the modelling of economic behavior

Laan, Gerard van der; Tieman, Alexander F. - 1996

Since the 1950's economists applied game theoretical concepts to a wide variety of economic problems. The Nash equilibrium concept has proven to be a powerful instrument in analyzing the outcome of economic processes. Since the late 1980's economists also show a growing interest in the...

Evolution of strategies in repeated games with discounting

Veelen, Matthijs van - 2006

In repeated games there is in general a large set of equilibria. We also know that in the repeated prisoners dilemma there is a profusion of neutrally stable strategies, but no strategy that is evolutionarily stable. This paper investigates whether and how neutrally stable strategies can be...

Capital structure arbitrage revisited

Wojtowicz, Marcin - 2014

We study risk and return properties of capital structure arbitrage strategies aiming to profit from temporal mispricing … between equity and credit default swaps (CDSs) of companies. We find that capital structure arbitrage provides an attractive … annualized return of 24.35% on invested capital. The arbitrage returns are higher for lower rated companies and surprisingly they …

Black scholes for portfolios of options in discrete time : the price is right, the hedge is wrong

Peeters, Bas; Dert, Cees; Lucas, André - 2003

Taking a portfolio perspective on option pricing and hedging, we show that within the standard Black-Scholes-Merton framework large portfolios of options can be hedged without risk in discrete time. The nature of the hedge portfolio in the limit of large portfolio size is substantially different...

Imitation of cooperation in prisoner's dilemma games with some local interaction

Janssen, Maarten C. W. - 2000

In this paper I study conditions for the emergence of cooperativebehavior in a dynamic model of population interaction.The model has finitely many individuals located on a circle. The pay-off of each individual is partly based on the (local)interaction with neighbors and partly on (uniform)...

A behavioral model for participation games with negative feedback

Dindo, Pietro; Tuinstra, Jan - 2006

We study participation games with negative feedback, i.e. games where players choose either to participate in a certain project or not and where the payoff for participating decreases in the number of participating players. We use the replicator dynamics to model the competition between...
