This book presents the fundamentals of evolutionary game theory and
applies them to the analysis of epidemics, which is of paramount
importance in the aftermath of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The
primary objective of this monograph is to deliver a powerful tool
to model and analyze the spread of an infectious disease during a
pandemic as well as the human decision dynamics. The book employs a
variant of the "vaccination game," in which a mathematical
epidemiological model dovetails with evolutionary game theory. From
a social physics standpoint, this book introduces an extended
concept of the vaccination game starting from the fundamental
issues and touching on the newest practical applications. The book
first outlines the fundamental basis of evolutionary game theory,
in which a two-player and two-strategy game, the so-called 2 x 2
game, and a multi-player game are concisely introduced, and the
important issue of how social dilemmas are quantified is
highlighted. Subsequently, the book discusses various recent
applications of the extended concept of the vaccination game so as
to quantitatively evaluate provisions other than vaccination,
including practical intermediate protective measures such as
mask-wearing, efficiency of quarantine compared with that of
isolation policies for suppressing epidemics, efficiency of
preemptive versus late vaccination, and optimal subsidy policies
for vaccination.
