We start off by showing the significance of Tit-For-Tat strategies in evolutionary game theory. This is followed by a theoretical derivation of zero-determinant strategies, where we highlight an error on bounds for scale parameters from the original paper on ZD strategies[6]. We then present examples of such strategies and create a custom player drawing inspiration from Markov Decision Processes. At the end we pit them all against each other and see how they perform in an IPD tournament.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.11561v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.11561v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"strategies-for-the-iterated-prisoner-s","repo_url":"https://github.com/anaghmalik/axelrod","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2111.11561","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
