An Analysis of the Replicator Dynamics for an Asymmetric Hawk-Dove Game

We analyze, using a dynamical systems approach, the replicator dynamics for the asymmetric Hawk-Dove game in which there is a set of four pure strategies with arbitrary payoffs.We give a full account of the equilibrium points and their stability and derive the Nash equilibria.We also give a detailed account of the local bifurcations tactical pen that the system exhibits based on choices of the typical Hawk-Dove parameters v and c.We also give details on the connections between the results found in this work and those of the standard two-strategy Hawk-Dove game.

We conclude the paper with some Buckles examples of numerical simulations that further illustrate some global behaviours of the system.
