Title: Optimization, learning and games. ``Replicator dynamics: old and new’’
Abstract:
We will describe the unilateral version associated to the replicator dynamics and its connection to on-line learning procedures and classical gradient algorithms in discrete and continuous time.
We will survey recent results on extensions of this dynamics: regularization functions and variable weights, time average and link to best reply dynamics in games, equilibria and variational inequalities, potential and dissipative games, Hessian Riemannian metrics.
