Co-evolutionary dynamics on a deformable landscape

This chapter extends the survival-of-the-fittest evolutionary environment to consider the possibility that new political parties, when they first come into existence, do not pick decision rules at random but instead choose rules that have a track record of past success. This is done by adding replicator-mutator dynamics to the model, according to which the probability that each rule is selected by a new party is an evolving but noisy function of that rule's past performance. Estimating characteristic outputs when this type of positive feedback enters the dynamic model creates new methodological challenges. The simulation results show that it is very rare for one decision rule to drive out all others over the long run. While the diversity of decision rules used by party leaders is drastically reduced with such positive feedback in the party system, and while some particular decision rule is typically prominent over a certain period of time, party systems in which party leaders use different decision rules are sustained over substantial periods.

The work is devoted to an urgent problem — the study of the evolutionary dynamics of web advertising, its assessment and effectiveness, as well as the problem of legal support and security of information systems. The goal is a systematic analysis of web advertising in an unsafe information field, its relevance and criteria for assessing marketing efforts, minimizing risks, maximizing additional profits and image. Research hypothesis — the effectiveness of web advertising is determined by the form of advertising, place of display, location of the block, model of calculation of the advertising campaign. An approach based on the establishment of preferences, partnership between the state and business structures is emphasized. It takes into account the COVID-19 pandemic, a slowdown in the pace and features of the evolution of business companies in self-isolation. The subtasks of influence on the advertising efficiency of the site’s features and web advertising are highlighted. A comprehensive analysis of information and logical security and computational models of web advertising companies was also carried out.
