Trajectories for EWA system leading to a fixed point in a three-player game. Panel (a) shows an instance in which a fixed point is reached relatively quickly. Panel (b) illustrates a metastable chaotic transient eventually collapsing to a fixed point. In both examples each player has a choice of N = 20 possible actions and the intensity of choice is β = 0.05. A random sample of five of the players’ strategy components \({x}_{i}^{\mu }\) are plotted. Remaining parameters are α = 0.1, Γ = −0.5 in panel (a), and α = 0.01, Γ = 0.1 in panel (b).
