Analysis of the Learning of Foraging Behavior in Lizards
Research Group
Overview
This research examines the convergence properties of learning rules for the
foraging behavior of the anoles lizard. Our analysis provides the first
proof of convergence for learning rules proposed by Jonathan Roughgarden at
Stanford University. This result confirms prior experimental research with
these rules. It also points to possible connections with scheduling
problems that do not require the completion of all jobs set before
the user, but only the greatest number possible per unit time.
