Evolution of Fighting Behaviour: The Effect of Variation in Resource ...

GAMES WITH VARIATION IN RESOURCE VALUE 205andn (1The iteration is used to compute the optimal S' for each initial subjective resourcevalue for A. The best reply to A's strategy is then computed, and so on untilconvergence is obtained. For the first example in the text, an individual's subjectiveresource value does not depend on the opponents local strategy. All the V,, willthen be equal to the initial subjective resource value. For the second example, bestreplies for one role to the strategy used by the other role are computed, untilconvergence to an equilibrium pair is obtained. For the intruder, V,, will be equalto the owner's subjective resource value, and for the owner, there is no informationabout the resource in the intruder's behaviour.
