Researchers find three symmetric solutions for Bellman equation in repeated harmony games

Researchers have explored the symmetric solution of the Bellman optimality equation within the context of a repeated harmony game. Their analysis revealed three distinct types of symmetric solutions. Two of these solutions align with established strategies: the straightforward All-C strategy and the Win-stay Lose-shift strategy commonly seen in the prisoners dilemma game. The study also delves into the nontrivial behaviors of the third solution and examines which strategies agents learn through reinforcement learning algorithms. AI

IMPACT This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of cooperation and strategy learning in game theory, potentially informing future AI agent development.

    Symmetric solution of the Bellman optimality equation for repeated harmony game

    arXiv:2609.16289v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In social dilemma games, additional rewards or punishments have been studied as means of promoting cooperation. Therefore, it is important to investigate the ideal situation, in which such an additional payoff would change the gam…
