Rock is wrapped by paper, paper is cut by scissors and scissors are crushed by rock. This
simple game is popular among children and adults to decide on trivial disputes that have no …

Game theory is one of the key paradigms behind many scientific disciplines from biology to
behavioral sciences to economics. In its evolutionary form and especially when the …

Spatially extended population dynamics models that incorporate demographic noise serve
as case studies for the crucial role of fluctuations and correlations in biological systems …

Cyclic dominance of species has been identified as a potential mechanism to maintain
biodiversity, see, eg, B. Kerr, MA Riley, MW Feldman and BJM Bohannan [Nature 418, 171 …

Using a spatially explicit cellular automaton model with local competition, we investigate the
potential for varied levels of competitive intransitivity (ie, nonhierarchical competition) to …

The spatial rock-scissors-paper game (or cyclic Lotka–Volterra system) is extended to study
how the spatiotemporal patterns are affected by the rewired host lattice providing uniform …

We study the general properties of stochastic two-species models for predator-prey
competition and coexistence with Lotka–Volterra type interactions defined on ad …

We study a six-species Lotka-Volterra-type system on different two-dimensional lattices
when each species has two superior and two inferior partners. The invasion rates from …

Evolutionary dynamical models for cyclic competitions of three species (eg, rock, paper and
scissors, or RPS) provide a paradigm, at the microscopic level of individual interactions, to …

An introduction to the fundamental concepts of the emerging field of Artificial Chemistries,
covering both theory and practical applications. The field of Artificial Life (ALife) is now firmly …
