Population Games for Population Biology and Evolution
Timothy Reluga
Theoretical Biology & Biophysics Group
Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos, NM
Abstract:
In recent years, game theory has gained attention as a method to explain behavior and evolution. In this talk, I'll describe my work combining classic epidemiology models with Markov decision processes to formulate population games and study problems in public health and evolution. Specific applications to polio and influenza will be discussed.
