Abstract

We introduce the use of conservation laws in multi-player consensus games. Indeed, a general non-anticipative strategy is proposed within a rigorous analytic framework. By means of numerical integrations, we describe peculiar features of this strategy, such as its effectiveness, the automatic formation of coalitions and the effects of competitions.

Keywords
