CARCINOGENESIS AS AN EVOLUTIONARY GAME [PDF]

open access: possibleAdvances in Complex Systems, 2006
Human cancer may be thought of as Darwinian evolution of cells within the body (somatic evolution). As such, it may be modeled using evolutionary game theory. Winners in this game are able to maintain viable population numbers while losers go extinct.

Polymorphic Evolutionary Games

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2016
In this paper, I present an analytical framework for polymorphic evolutionary games suitable for explicitly modeling evolutionary processes in diploid populations with sexual reproduction. The principal aspect of the proposed approach is adding diploid genetics cum sexual recombination to a traditional evolutionary game, and switching from phenotypes ...

Evolutionary computation and games

IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine, 2006
Games provide competitive, dynamic environments that make ideal test beds for computational intelligence theories, architectures, and algorithms. Natural evolution can be considered to be a game in which the rewards for an organism that plays a good game of life are the propagation of its genetic material to its successors and its continued survival ...

MODELING CANCER AS AN EVOLUTIONARY GAME [PDF]

open access: possibleInternational Game Theory Review, 2005
We present two different mathematical models that examine the role of cellular evolution in the development and treatment of cancer. The first is a Lotka-Volterra model of an invasive cancer subjected to chemotherapy that demonstrates rapid evolution of drug-resistant phenotypes.
