The seminal paper deals with the Prisoner’s Dilemma, so that the classical pure strategies for both players are that of Cooperation and Defection, referred to as C and D, respectively. The state of the game is a vector in the tensor product space spanned by the basis vectors |00〉, |01〉, |10〉, |11〉. (EWL for short), the classical pure strategies are assigned two basic vectors |0〉 and |1〉, respectively, in a two-level Hilbert space. In the quantization scheme introduced by Eisert et al. Thus, the expected pay-offs in the SD are In a different game scenario, that of correlated games, an external probability distribution Π = ( π 11 π 12 π 21 π 22 ) assigns probability to every combination of player choices . In other words, the dilemma of the Samaritan game (sometimes referred to as the Welfare game) is somehow only that of the charity (or Samaritan) player A. Let us remark here then, that the pay-offs of the SD are biased towards the beneficiary player B. Figure 1 c shows the pay-offs region of the studied game, which turns out negative for player A in points such as the NE, whereas this does not happen for player B. x is a best response to y and y is a best response to x. Figure 1 b shows the reaction functions whose intersection determines the NE, i.e. games with no pair of pure strategies in Nash equilibrium (NE), where the one player’s incentive is to coordinate (charity ( A, W)), while the other player tries to avoid this (beneficiary ( A, L)). The SD belongs to the class of the so-called discoordination games, i.e. P A ( x, y ) = x ′ P A y = ( 5 y − 1 ) x − y and p B ( x, y ) = x ′ P B y = ( 1 − 2 x ) y + 3 x. Pay-off matrices ( a), reaction functions ( b) and pay-off region in the Samaritan’s dilemma ( c) studied in this article. Following Huang et al. , Ozdemir et al. and Rasmussen , we adopt here the pay-off matrices P A and P B given in figure 1 a.įigure 1. Although there is a desire to help them, there is the recognition that a handout may be harmful to the long-run interests of the recipient . Many people may have experienced this dilemma when confronted with people in need. However, the beneficiary may simply rely on the handout (Loaf) rather than try to improve their situation (Work). The charity wants to help (Aid) people in need. The Samaritan’s dilemma arises in the act of charity. Player A may choose Aid/No Aid, whereas player B may choose Work/Loaf. The Samaritan’s dilemma (SD) is a non-zero sum, asymmetric game played by two players: the charity player A and the beneficiary player B.

(Here, corresponds to the initial pattern.) Where the initial conditions are specifiedĪs a binary matrix and the results for generations through are returned. The game of life is a totalistic cellular automaton, and can be implemented as follows using the built-in command CellularAutomaton, Birth: if the current cell is off and the count is exactly 3, the current cell is switched on. Survival: if (a) the count is exactly 2, or (b) the count is exactly 3 and the current cell is on, the current cell is left unchanged.ģ. Death: if the count is less than 2 or greater than 3, the current cell is switched off.Ģ. Then used to determine what will happen to the current cell.ġ. Any cells that are on are counted, and this count is All eight of the cells surrounding the current one are checked
Each generation then switchesĬells on or off depending on the state of the cells that surround it. The life cellular automaton is run by placing a number of filled cells on a two-dimensional grid. Originally played (i.e., successive generations were produced) by hand with counters,īut implementation on a computer greatly increased the ease of exploring patterns.
