Partial Altruism is Worse than Complete Selfishness in Nonatomic Congestion Games [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We seek to understand the fundamental mathematics governing infrastructure-scale interactions between humans and machines, particularly when the machines' intended purpose is to influence and optimize the behavior of the humans. To that end, this paper investigates the worst-case congestion that can arise in nonatomic network congestion games when a ...

Altruism and Antagonistic Pleiotropy in Penna Ageing Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 The Penna ageing model is based on mutation accumulation theory. We show that it also allows for self-organization of antagonistic pleiotropy which helps at young age at the expense of old age. This can be interpreted as emergence of altruism.

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2002 Many situations in human life present choices between (a) narrowly preferred particular alternatives and (b) narrowly less preferred (or aversive) particular alternatives that nevertheless form part of highly preferred abstract behavioral patterns. Such alternatives characterize problems of self-control.

Can Unicellular Organisms Sequester a Germline? The Yeast‐Germline Hypothesis
BioEssays, EarlyView.Asymmetrical inheritance of template‐DNA and copy‐DNA strands during mitosis can reduce the number of mutant cells. This requires that cells continuing to divide inherit the “immortal” template‐DNA, while their daughter cells become quiescent and inherit copy‐DNA strands.

CSMA Local Area Networking under Dynamic Altruism [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 In this paper, we consider medium access control of local area networks (LANs) under limited-information conditions as befits a distributed system. Rather than assuming "by rule" conformance to a protocol designed to regulate packet-flow rates (e.g., CSMA windowing), we begin with a non-cooperative game framework and build a dynamic altruism term into ...
