A game-theoretical approach to network structure evolution — •Jan Scholz¹ and Martin Greiner² — ¹Institut für Theoretische Physik, Justus-Liebig-Universität, Heinrich-Buff-Ring 16, D-35392 Gießen — ²Corporate Technology, Information & Communications, Siemens AG, D-81730 München

Motivated by the possible application to technical communication networks, we study a game-theoretical approach to network structure formation. A short introduction to game theory with focus on the iterated prisoners dilemma and the concept of (network) Nash equilibria is given. Results on various generic couplings of the IPD game dynamics with network structure evolution are presented and shown to lead to various different selforganizing network topologies.
