... Let p denote the probability to choose Left, then (1-p) is the probability to choose Right. Similarly, let q denote the probability to choose Top, and (1-q) is the probability to choose Bottom. Mixed-strategy requires the expected payoff from choosing Left and Right is equal, i.e. ...

3 Excerpts from Adaptation and Natural Selection
... imagine that mortality rates from predation by bears on a herd of deer would be still lower if each individual, instead of merely running for its life when it saw a bear, would play a special role in an organized program of bear avoidance. There might be individuals with especially well-developed se ...

Review of Darwin`s Dangerous Idea by Daniel C. Dennett
... First, the notion of “organized complexity” is at least as ill-defined in biology as the notion of morphological diversity. We have an intuitive sense that worms are more complex than bacteria and that humans are more complex than worms, but there have been many different definitions of “complexity ...

Playing Large Games using Simple Strategies
... Our main result (Section 3) is that for any two-person game there exists an -equilibrium with only logarithmic support (in the number of available pure strategies). Moreover the strategy of each player in such an equilibrium is uniform on a small multiset and can be expressed in polylogarithmically ...

The Nash equilibrium is a “mutual best response” in the sense that each player is correctly assessing the strategies of all other playe ...
