Popis: Recently, a new mathematical formulation of evolutionary game dynamics [1] has been introduced accounting for a finite number of players organized over a network, where the players are located at the nodes of a graph and edges represent connections between them. Internal steady states are particularly interesting in control and consensus problems, especially in a networked context where they are related to the coexistence of different strategies. In this paper we consider this model including self-loops. Existence of internal steady states is studied for different graph topologies in two-strategy games. Results on the effect of removing links from central players are also presented.
