Abstract

The Prisoner's Dilemma is a non-zero-sum discrete two-player game. It is often used to study social phenomena like cooperation. In this article we describe and analyze a continuous version of the Prisoner's Dilemma. The continuous version may provide further insights in the phenomenon of cooperation because it allows new types of strategies.
