Memory and self-induced shocks in an evolutionary population competing for limited resources

Abstract
We present a detailed discussion of the role played by memory, and the nature of self-induced shocks, in an evolutionary population competing for limited resources. Our study builds on a previously introduced multi-agent system [Phys. Rev. Lett 82, 3360 (1999)] which has attracted significant attention in the literature. This system exhibits self-segregation of the population based on the `gene' value p (where 0<=p<=1), transitions to `frozen' populations as a function of the global resource level, and self-induced large changes which spontaneously arise as the dynamical system evolves. We find that the large, macroscopic self-induced shocks which arise, are controlled by microscopic changes within extreme subgroups of the population (i.e. subgroups with `gene' values p~0 and p~1).
