Abstract

Resource allocation could not arrive at Nash equilibrium directly as that under completed rationality, due to bounded rationality of users. A resource allocation strategy based on evolutionary game is proposed to investigate the evolutionary process of user colony from the dynamic viewpoint. Using the method of replicated dynamics, an evolutionary stable strategy is produced to allocate resource. In particular, the evolutionary stable point, evaluation function characteristics, and replicated dynamic diagrams are discussed under different conditions. The results show that using evolutionary game approach, users could study and adjust strategy constantly through repeated games to achieve evolutionary stable equilibrium, which leads to an optimal allocation of resource.
