title: Self-organization in populations of competing agents
abstract: A population of heterogenous agents competing through a minority rule is investigated. Agents which frequently lose are selected for evolution by changing their strategies. The stationary composition of the population resulting from this self-organization process is computed analytically. Results are compared with numerical simulations of two different minority games and other analytical treatments available in the literature.
