SURVEY ON APPLICATIONS OF SEMI-TENSOR PRODUCT METHOD IN NETWORKED EVOLUTIONARY GAMES

Abstract

Semi-tensor product (STP) method of matrices has received more and more attention from the communities of both engineering and economics in recent years. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on the applications of STP method in the theory of networked evolutionary games. In the beginning, some preliminary results on STP method are recalled. Then, the applications of STP method in many kinds of networked evolutionary games, such as general networked evolutionary games, networked evolutionary games with finite memories, networked evolutionary games defined on finite networks, and random networked evolutionary games, are reviewed. Finally, several research problems in the future are predicted.
