Evolutionary Coordinative Foraging Algorithm Based on Hawk-Dove Game

A hawk-dove game model for multi-agent foraging was built from the viewpoint of evolutionary game theory. Based on this model, an evolutionary coordinative foraging algorithm that combined introspection, imitation, and accelerating factor in the replicator dynamics was proposed to find the sole evolutionary stable strategy of the hawk-dove game corresponding to multi-agent foraging. The simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can converge to the ESS with a short time compared with other similar algorithm, and can automatically adjust the multi-agent system to a new ESS after the environment changed.
