Mistakes can stabilise the dynamics of rock-paper-scissors games
Fig 2
Game flow for the unstable RPS game with uniform mixed strategies for different values of λ.
Here, a stable fixed point is denoted by a red circle and a unstable fixed point is denoted by a white circle. The colour in the interior of the simplex indicates the rate of change: from slow (blue) to fast (red). In this example, completely random execution errors lead to the dominance of the rock strategy. We use the Wolfram Mathematica project [49] to produce these phase planes.
