Quenching and Annealing in the Minority Game

Abstract

We report the occurrence of quenching and annealing in a version of the Minority Game (MG) in which the winning option is to join a given fraction of the population that is a free, external parameter. We compare this to the different dynamics of the Bar Attendance Model (BAM) where the updating of the attendance strategy makes use of all available information about the system and quenching does not occur. We provide an annealing schedule by which the quenched configuration of the MG reaches equilibrium and coincides with the one obtained with the BAM
