In this paper, we consider evolutionary games and construct a model of replicator dynamics with bounded continuously distributed time delay. In many circumstances, players interact simultaneously while impacts of their choices take place after some time, which implies a time delay exists. We consider the time delay as bounded continuously distributed other than some given constant. Then, we investigate the stability of the evolutionarily stable strategy in the replicator dynamics with bounded continuously distributed time delay in two-player game contexts. Some stability conditions of the unique interior Nash equilibrium are obtained. Finally, the simple but important Hawk–Dove game is used to verify our results.

We consider stability of equilibria for population games against slight perturbation on the social state space. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Nash equilibria for perturbed population games, which is very important and interesting. Then, refinements of equilibria for population games are introduced. Equivalent characterizations of perfect equilibrium are given. At last, it is shown that each population game admits at least one perfect (proper, weakly proper, and robust) equilibrium.
This article investigates the stability of evolutionarily stable strategy in replicator dynamics of two-community with multi-delays. In the real environment, players interact simultaneously while the return of their choices may not be observed immediately, which implies one or more time-delays exists. In addition to using the method of classic characteristic equations, we also apply linear matrix inequality (i.e., LMI) to discuss the stability of the mixed evolutionarily stable strategy in replicator dynamics of two-community with multi-delays. We derive a delay-dependent stability and a delay-independent stability sufficient conditions of the evolutionarily stable strategy in the two-community replicator dynamics with two delays, and manage to extend the sufficient condition to n time delays. Lastly, numerical trials of the Hawk–Dove game are given to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical consequences.
In this paper, the sensitivity analysis of parametric vector equilibrium problems (for short PVEP) is conducted based on the Fréchet coderivative of a multifunction. Firstly, we formulate the formulas for calculating the Fréchet coderivative of the set-valued gap function related to the (PVEP). By estimating the Fréchet subdifferential of the set-valued gap function, we present the precise expression of the Fréchet subdifferential associated with the perturbed map for (PVEP). Moreover, we obtain the Fréchet subdifferential associated with the perturbed map for the parametric vector optimization problems (for short PVOP). Finally, we provide several examples to demonstrate the obtained results.
