New Model Shows Random Rewards Reshape Outcomes in Classic Game-Theory Contests

Study models classic games with time-varying rewards

A mathematical modeling study applies randomly fluctuating payoffs, rather than fixed rewards, to evolutionary versions of the prisoner's dilemma, the game of chicken, and rock-paper-scissors, finding that variation produces new stable and bistable population states not seen in the static versions of these games.
