"Dynamics of signalling games"

Sigmund, Karl

This lecture (based on joint work with Hannelore De Silva) describes several basic and much-studied types of interactions with incomplete information, analyzing them by means of evolutionary game dynamics. The interactions include helping games, costly advertising, owner-challenger contests and sender-receiver games. We model the evolution of populations of players reacting to each other, and compare adaptive dynamics, replicator dynamics and best-reply dynamics. In particular, we study signaling norms and non-equilibrium outcomes.
