Abstract

Suppose the payoffs (aij) in the n × n matrix A are drawn independently from some continuous probability distribution. The number of tactics used in an ESS is investigated. Asymptotic results on the size of the ESS with largest support are given, using the work of Karlin and Kingman on the size of polymorphisms in one-locus multi-allele diploid selection models.
