Myopic Best Response Replicates the Mean Curvature Flow
John S. McAlister, Nathan Burns
In a continuous coordination game, under myopic best response, players change strategies, and thus strategic communities change their shapes in time. We show that the boundaries of…
Structured Coordination Games on Planar Graphs: a Dual Approach
John S. McAlister
Finding Nash equilibria in the pure coordination game is trivial when every player interacts with every other player evenly. However, when players have a relational structure, the…
Classification of dynamics for a two person model of planned behavior
Rishi Dadlani, John S. McAlister, Tahra L. Eissa +1
We study a dynamical system modeling the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in which each individual's behavioral intention evolves continuously under an ODE driven by internal attit…
Nonlinear Nonlocal Diffusion Equations for the Analysis of Continuous Coordination and Anti-Coordination Type Games
John S. McAlister, Nina H. Fefferman, Tadele A. Mengesha
Coordination games with explicit spatial or relational structure are of interest to economists, ecologists, sociologists, and others studying emergent global properties in collecti…
A Game Theoretic Treatment of Contagion in Trade Networks
John S. McAlister, Jesse L. Brunner, Danielle J. Galvin +1
Global trade of material goods involves the potential to create pathways for the spread of infectious pathogens. One trade sector in which this synergy is clearly critical is that…
Insights into the Structured Coordination Game with Neutral Options through Simulation
John S. McAlister, Nina H. Fefferman
Coordination games have been of interest to game theorists, economists, and ecologists for many years to study such problems as the emergence of local conventions and the evolution…
An Interdisciplinary Perspective of the Built-Environment Microbiome
John S. McAlister, Michael J. Blum, Yana Bromberg +8
The built environment provides an excellent setting for interdisciplinary research on the dynamics of microbial communities. The system is simplified compared to many natural setti…
