Differences in dynamics between discrete strategies and continuous strategies in a multi-player game with a linear payoff structure.

A deductive analysis concerning replicator dynamics proved that a continuous strategy game (in which a player chooses an arbitrary real number between [0, 1] as a cooperative fraction) has the same equilibrium as a discrete strategy game (in which a player chooses only C or D), which has the same linear payoff structure as a continuous strategy game. The deduction is shown for two-player and multi-player games.
