Research Ideas: Asymmetric Evolutionary Games with Type-Specific Resource Constraints

Asymmetric conflicts are at the core of most animal conflicts. The most common example of asymmetric conflict is the fight for gaining access to a territory, where one animal protects its territory and another animal, intruder, tries to take the territory from the incumbent animal. In such conflicts, `incumbent' and `attacker' are two roles of the animals and these two roles have different strategies to implement during the conflict.
