Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, complex networks have become increasingly relevant in several contexts. Finding the equilibrium of strategic games between players located on a network is a very complex problem though, since the solution strongly depends on the population structure and connection patterns, as well as on the amount of information and rationality players are endowed with. Evolutionary game theory is extremely useful in this framework by selecting the equilibria which can be dynamically accessed, and is thus relevant in a variety of contexts ranging from biology and ecology to anthropology, psychology, sociology and economics. In this call, we would like to invite original research papers to a Special Issue of Games on the application of evolutionary game theory concepts to complex networks and network games.
