[NOVA Math] Analysis Seminar

The Center of Mathematics and Applications (NOVA Math) promotes the Seminar of Analysis with the title: "On Evolutionarily Stable Strategies". Felipe Murgel (Center for Mathematics and Applications (NOVA Math) & Universidade Federal Fluminense) is the speaker.

Abstract: This talk provides an overview of Evolutionarily Stable Strategies (ESS) in population games and addresses some common misconceptions found in the classical literature. We focus specifically on Locally Superior Strategies (LSS), which represent a very special case of ESS, examining them in contexts with both finite and infinite action sets. Locally Superior Strategies are particularly significant among evolutionary stability concepts because they act as attractors under the Replicator Dynamic. The main result I will present unifies the finite and infinite frameworks by establishing a necessary and sufficient condition for an ESS to be a LSS.
