ABSTRACT

In previous chapters we have considered games where there may have been a large number of strategies available to the players, but the number of distinct situations where they had to make a choice were restricted. There may have been many individuals, but the position of all within the population was essentially identical. Within some of the m-player contests of Chapter 9 there could be distinctions based upon results achieved, but this was restricted to competition within groups of size m only and prior to the selection of competing groups all individuals were identically placed.
