Rock-Paper-Scissors Lattice Model

Abstract

In this work, we introduce Rock-Paper-Scissors lattice model on Cayley tree of second order generated by Rock-Paper-Scissors game. In this strategic 2-player game, the rule is simple: rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock. A payoff matrix of this game is a skew-symmetric. It is known that quadratic stochastic operator generated by this matrix is non-ergodic transformation. The Hamiltonian of Rock-Paper-Scissors Lattice Model is defined by this skew-symmetric payoff matrix . In this paper, we discuss a connection between three fields of research: evolutionary games, quadratic stochastic operators, and lattice models of statistical physics. We prove that a phase diagram of the Rock-Paper-Scissors model consists of translation-invariant and periodic Gibbs measure with period 3.

“…On the other hand, such kind of interactions lead us to the game theory like zero-sum games [40,41]. Moreover, recently, Lotka-Volterra matrices have been considered within the framework of phase transitions and Gibbs measures [42][43][44].…”
