摘要
In this article we present a new algorithm which is capable to find optimal strategies in the coordination games. The coordination game refers to a large class of environments where there are multiple equilibria. We propose a approach based on the Differential Evolution where the fitness function is used to calculate the maximum deviation from the optimal strategy. The Differential Evolution (DE) is a simple and powerful optimization method, which is mainly applied to continuous problems. Thanks to the special operator of the adaptive mutation, it is possible to direct the searching process within the solution space. The approach used in this article is based on the probability of chosing the single pure strategy. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
