Behaviors of imitated agents in an evolutionary minority game on NW small world networks

Abstract

In this paper, we study the behaviors of imitated agents who compete for a limited resource through Evolutionary Minority Game. The agents are mapped into vertices on small world networks proposed by Newman and Watts [1] (NW small world networks). The numerical results show that the probability distribution P (p) is different for different prize-to-fine ratio R, and has a phasic evolution. The performance of the system with NW small world networks is better than that of the system with WS small world networks [2].
