In the game-theoretic model war of attrition, players are subject to an explicit cost proportional to the duration of contests. We construct a model where the time cost is not explicitly given, but instead depends implicitly on the strategies of the whole population. We identify and analyse the unde
Several modifications and generalisations of the basic model ( 1) have been investigated (e.g. Bishop and Cnnnings (1978), (1986), Haigh and Rose (1980), Maynard Smith andParker (1976)). Here we analyze several different models for the generalisation of (1) to n-person conflicts. The common feature
The fact that there always exists various kinds of almost continuous mutations for any animal population implies that players in competitions can never be perfectly symmetric in any sense. To develop a model to fit this reality, we consider war of attrition games in which players have continuously d
It is shown that there are at least two evolutionarily stable strategies, or ESSs, in the war of attrition with a role asymmetry when players make an error with a small but positive probability in implementing their strategy choices. This result proves Maynard Smith's original conjecture that player
