Abstract

The Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) game is a classic non-cooperative game widely studied in terms of its theoretical analysis as well as in its applications, ranging from sociology and biology to economics. In this work, we show that the attractor of the discrete time best-response dynamics of the RPS game is a finite union of periodic orbits. Moreover, we also describe the bifurcations of the attractor and determine the exact number, period and location of the periodic orbits.

In fact, the smallest period is \(3\left( \left\lfloor \frac{\log (a/b)}{\log (1-\varepsilon )}\right\rfloor +1\right) \sim \frac{3\log (b/a)}{\varepsilon }\) as \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\).

For every \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}\), \(x\le \lfloor x\rfloor <x+1\) and \(x-1<\lceil x \rceil \le x\).
