GAME THEORETIC MODELS OF SIGNALING AND INFORMATION TRANSFER

Signaling interactions and information transfer may involve a number of strategic aspects. Agents must, for instance, use signals in the same systematic way in order to facilitate coordinated behavior. These strategic aspects make it possible to apply evolutionary game theory in analyzing situations involving signaling or information transfer I will concentrate on two simple game theoretic models: signaling games and a one-way flow model of information transmission. Some game theoretic properties of those models will be discussed. I will also present some results on convergence to states of communication and to states of efficient information transfer for evolutionary dynamics and learning dynamics.
