Crowd-anticrowd model of the Minority Game

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1 Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems

Abstract

We provide a theoretical description of the Minority Game in terms of crowd effects. The size of the fluctuations arising in the game is controlled by the interplay between crowds of like-minded agents and their anti-correlated partners (anticrowds). The theoretical results are in good agreement with the numerical simulations over the entire parameter range of interest.
