- vectorized_replicator_equation_n_player(x1: numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, n]], x2: numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, n]], x3: numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, n]], payoff_matrix: numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, n]], group_size: int) Tuple[numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, n]], numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, n]], numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, n]]] ¶
Calculates the gradient of the replicator dynamics given the current population state.
This function must only be used for 3 strategy populations! It provides a fast way to compute the gradient of selection for a large number of population states.
You need to pass 3 matrices each containing the frequency of one strategy.
The combination of [x1[i,j], x2[i,j], x3[i,j]], gives the population state.
- Parameters
x1 (numpy.ndarray) – Matrix containing the first component of the frequencies
x2 (numpy.ndarray) – Matrix containing the second component of the frequencies
x3 (numpy.ndarray) – Matrix containing the third component of the frequencies
payoff_matrix (numpy.ndarray) – A payoff matrix containing the payoff of each row strategy for each possible group configuration, indicated by the column index. The matrix must have shape (nb_strategies, nb_group_configurations).
group_size (int) – size of the group
- Returns
Returns 3 matrices containing the gradient of each strategy. Each Matrix has the same shape as x1, x2 and x3.
- Return type
Tuple[numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray]
