AKSOE 10.50: Poster

Wednesday, March 29, 2006, 16:00–18:00, P2

IPD network creation games — •Jan Scholz — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Justus Liebig Universität, Heinrich-Buff-Ring 16, 35392 Gießen, Germany — Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies and Frankfurt International Graduate School for Science, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität, Max-von-Laue-Straße 1, 60438 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

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.
