TOURNAMENT-WINNING STRATEGY FOR ITERATED OPTIONAL PRISONER'S DILEMMA
Iterated optional prisoner's dilemma (IOPD) is an adversarial game that can be used to model several real-world scenarios, from mutual grooming between primates to alliances between business firms. This study utilizes simulation techniques to determine winning strategies for IOPD tournaments in a …

Losses, gains, and asymmetry in the 1-shot prisoner's dilemma game
… are rarely studied in the context of the 1-shot prisoner’s dilemma (PD) game. Many real-world interactions, however, are 1-time events, so it is important to determine how well factors studied in iterated games apply to the 1-shot PD. In the present within-subject study we systematically examine …

Testing theoretical game theory results on a large scale : prisoner's dilemma on Facebook
… theory situations, most prominantly the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma game. The game allows for Facebook users to play each other in the Prisoner's Dilemma game while competing for a common goal. We then gather data on strategies employed by players and compare them to classic game theoretic results …

The cybernetics of nonzero sum games – the prisoner's dilemma reinterpreted as a pure conflict game with nature, with empirical applications
… sum 2-player games. When applied to 2-player prisoner’s dilemma games, the solution procedure assigns mixed strategies to the prisoners, thereby “resolving” the dilemma. The mixed strategies vary with the payoffs (up to a linear transformation). For prisoner’s dilemma matrices which have been …

Cooperation and competition : modeling intention and behavior in dual-agent interactions
