Abstract

In this study, we analyze a mechanism of cycles of the efficiency in Minority game. The Minority Game is a game when a group of participants (or agents) wins when it has a smaller number of participants. Efficiency of the Minority Game is the ratio of winner participants. We realized simulations of the Minority Game with more than 100 million agents. From our simulation results, we observed a cycle of the efficiency that varies according to the size of memory of each agent. We show some simulation results showing those cycles. We examine the usage of history in strategy tables to see the mechanism of the cycles of the efficiency.
