When Less is More: Evolutionary Dynamics of Deception in a Sender-Receiver Game

Eduardo V. M. Vieira, José F. Fontanari

The spread of disinformation poses a significant threat to societal well-being. We analyze this phenomenon using an evolutionary game theory model of the sender-receiver game, wher…

-player game formulation of the majority-vote model of opinion dynamics

João P. M. Soares, José F. Fontanari

From a self-centered perspective, it can be assumed that people only hold opinions that can benefit them. If opinions have no intrinsic value, and acquire their value when held by…

Nonequilibrium phase transitions in a model for the origin of life

Claudia P. Ferreira, J. F. Fontanari

The requisites for the persistence of small colonies of self-replicating molecules living in a two-dimensional lattice are investigated analytically in the infinite diffusion or me…

Group selection models in prebiotic evolution

D. Alves, P. R. A. Campos, A. T. C. Silva +1

The evolution of enzyme production is studied analytically using ideas of the group selection theory for the evolution of altruistic behavior. In particular, we argue that the math…

Random replicators with high-order interactions

Viviane M. de Oliveira, J. F. Fontanari

We use tools of the equilibrium statistical mechanics of disordered systems to study analytically the statistical properties of an ecosystem composed of N species interacting via r…

On the structure pf genealogical trees in the presence of selection

P. R. A. Campos, M. T. Sonoda, J. F. Fontanari

We investigate through numerical simulations the effect of selection on two summary statistics for nucleotide variation in a sample of two genes from a population of N asexually re…
