This award funds research on four topics in evolutionary game theory and its applications. The first project uses evolutionary game dynamics to study residential segregation. Thomas Schelling has famously argued that a mild preference for not being in 'the minority' can result in highly segrated neighborhoods. Using new tools from evolutionary game theory, the investigator constructs and analyzes a new model of location choice dynamics. Using this model he investigates whether residential segregation is a stable outcome that arises from a wide variety of starting conditions. He also determines whether or not other preferences (for example, a preference for living near good schools) increase or decrease segregation in the model.The second project examines local stability of equilibrium under deterministic evolutionary dynamics in general population games. The third and fourth projects develop and analyze different models of stochastic evolution based on sequential arrival of revision opportunities and payoff noise. The PI also develops software to teach evolutionary dynamics to undergraduates and graduate students with little background in game theory.

该奖项资助进化博弈论及其应用的四个主题的研究。 第一个项目使用进化博弈动力学来研究居住隔离。 托马斯·谢林（Thomas Schelling）有一个著名的观点，即不属于“少数”的轻微偏好可能导致高度隔离的社区。 利用进化博弈论的新工具，研究者构建并分析了一个新的区位选择动态模型。 使用这个模型，他调查居住隔离是否是一个稳定的结果，产生于各种各样的起始条件。 他还确定是否其他偏好（例如，一个好的学校附近的生活偏好）增加或减少隔离的模型。第二个项目检查局部稳定性的平衡下确定性的进化动力学在一般的人口游戏。 第三和第四个项目开发和分析不同的随机演化模型的基础上顺序到达的修订机会和支付噪声。 PI还开发软件，向本科生和研究生教授进化动力学，而这些学生对博弈论的背景知之甚少。
