Review text

An evolutionary model based on the \textit{P. D. Taylor} and \textit{L. B. Jonker} game dynamics [Math. Biosci. 40, 145-156 (1978; Zbl 0395.90118)] is presented. A set of strategies is compatible if there exists a dynamical equilibrium between its members and there is an evolutionary transition to another compatible set if new mutant strategies bring about a passage to another equilibrium. We apply these concepts to supergame strategies, which play repeatedly a given matrix game and at each time step choose their pure strategy according to the preceding moves of the opponent. We investigate the patterns of evolution in zero-sum games, games of partnership, the prisoner's dilemma and the hawkdove game.
