A brief review of evolutionary game dynamics in the reinforcement learning paradigm

Guozhong Zheng, Xin Ou, Shengfeng Deng +2

Cooperation, fairness, trust, and resource coordination are cornerstones of modern civilization, yet their emergence remains inadequately explained by the persistent discrepancies…

Decoding species coexistence: A reinforcement learning perspective

Kaiwen Jiang, Chenyang Zhao, Shengfeng Deng +3

A central goal in ecology is to understand how biodiversity is maintained. Previous theoretical works have employed the rock-paper-scissors (RPS) game as a toy model, demonstrating…

Evolution of cooperation in a bimodal mixture of conditional cooperators

Chenyang Zhao, Xinshi Feng, Guozhong Zheng +3

Extensive behavioral experiments reveal that conditional cooperation is a prevalent phenomenon. Previous game-theoretical studies have predominantly relied on hard-manner models, w…

Evolution of cooperation in the public goods game with Q-learning

Guozhong Zheng, Jiqiang Zhang, Shengfeng Deng +2

Recent paradigm shifts from imitation learning to reinforcement learning (RL) is shown to be productive in understanding human behaviors. In the RL paradigm, individuals search for…

Evolution of cooperation with Q-learning: the impact of information perception

Guozhong Zheng, Zhenwei Ding, Jiqiang Zhang +3

The inherent complexity of human beings manifests in a remarkable diversity of responses to intricate environments, enabling us to approach problems from varied perspectives. Howev…

Catalytic evolution of cooperation in a population with behavioural bimodality

Anhui Sheng, Jing Zhang, Guozhong Zheng +3

The remarkable adaptability of humans in response to complex environments is often demonstrated by the context-dependent adoption of different behavioral modes. However, the existi…

Emergence of cooperation under punishment: A reinforcement learning perspective

Chenyang Zhao, Guozhong Zheng, Chun Zhang +2

Punishment is a common tactic to sustain cooperation and has been extensively studied for a long time. While most of previous game-theoretic work adopt the imitation learning where…

Decoding trust: A reinforcement learning perspective

Guozhong Zheng, Jiqiang Zhang, Jing Zhang +2

Behavioral experiments on the trust game have shown that trust and trustworthiness are universal among human beings, contradicting the prediction by assuming \emph{Homo economicus}…

Oscillatory cooperation prevalence emerges from misperception

Jing Zhang, Zhao Li, Jiqiang Zhang +3

Oscillatory behaviors are ubiquitous in nature and the human society. However, most previous works fail to reproduce them in the two-strategy game-theoretical models. Here we show…

Probabilistic fair behaviors spark its boost in the Ultimatum Game: the strength of good Samaritans

Guozhong Zheng, Jiqiang Zhang, Rizhou Liang +2

Behavioral experiments on the Ultimatum Game have shown that we human beings have remarkable preference in fair play, contradicting the predictions by the game theory. Most of the…
