Promotion of cooperative behavior in Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) game while players that are allowed to move between different gaming environments (i.e. habitats) is investigated. The stochastic mobile model under study is realized over connected habitats that are situated on a two dimensional grid environment. The players appearing in the same habitat are allowed to interact with their immediate neighbors. Mobility of a player is defined as movement from its habitat to another based on both obtained payoff and randomly assigned habitat diversity values. By the end of extensive experimentation, it is concluded that player mobility is an effective factor that contributes to promotion of cooperation in spatial evolutionary games. Also, even for higher values of temptation of PD game, habitat diversity supports and triggers a collective resistance for the emergence and promotion of cooperative system behavior.

Cooperation under interval uncertainty
Alparslan-Goek, S. Zeynep; Miquel, Silvia; Tijs, Stef H. (2009-03-01)
In this paper, the classical theory of two-person cooperative games is extended to two-person cooperative games with interval uncertainty. The core, balancedness, superadditivity and related topics are studied. Solutions called psi(alpha)-values are introduced and characterizations are given.
Short-term modification of sleep-wake habits by gamification: a user study

Gamification is used as a tool to persuade and motivate people to achieve hard-to-perform tasks through the use of game mechanics. It can help to change people’s habits in a positive direction, thus to get subjective well-being in the long run. Sleep-wake behaviors are important determinants of a day-to-day well-being. Management of sleep-wake habits of individuals is a potential area that can benefit from gamification. This study aimed to find out whether it was possible to modify sleep-wake habits using g...
Two-Person Zero-Sum Communicating Stochastic Games
Avşar, Zeynep Müge (1997-10-26)
For undiscounted two-person zero-sum communicating stochastic games with finite state and action spaces, a solution procedure is proposed that exploits the communication property, i.e., working with irreducible games over restricted strategy spaces. The proposed procedure gives the value of the communicating game with an arbitrarily small error when the value is independent of the initial state.
Coordination with indirect messages in the stag-hunt game
Büyükboyacı Hanay, Mürüvvet İlknur; Küçükşenel, Serkan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2017-8)
We theoretically investigate the effect of allowing one-sided communication with costless indirect messages on stag-hunt game outcomes. Since Heinemann et al. (2009) show that players who avoid risk also avoid strategic uncertainty, we chose a sender's level of risk aversion as the indirect message. We show that if both sender and receiver interpret the message content similarly, it is possible that they end up either on the risk-dominant or on the payoffdominant equilibrium. We also show that players i...
