Competitive Segmentation: A Struggle for Image Space
In this paper, we propose a competitive image segmentation algorithm. It is a dynamic evolving optimization method, which we call the population algorithm. The method is inspired f...

Spatial Games with Adaptive Tit-For-Tats
This paper presents an adaptive tit-for-tat strategy and a study of its behavior in spatial IPD games. The adaptive tit-for-tat strategy is shown elsewhere to demonstrate high perf...

Interacting Trajectories in Design Space and Niche Space: A Philosopher Speculates About Evolution
Abstract. There are evolutionary trajectories in two different but related spaces, design space and niche space. Coevolution occurs in parallel trajectories in both spaces, with co...

Optimization as Side-Effect of Evolving Allelopathic Diversity
Many bacteria carry gene complexes that code for a toxin-antidote pair, e.g. colicin systems. Such gene complexes can be advantageous for its host by killing competitor bacteria wh...
