Abstract
Game theory delves into the examination of strategic behaviour across diverse domains such as insurance, business, military, biology, andmore,with the aim of deriving optimal decisions. Recent research focusing on the alteration of memory in the donation game with simultaneous iterated rounds has spurred our interest in investigating this phenomenon within the realm of the strictly alternating donation game. This study proposes a novel decision-making approach, utilising the previous unit instead of the most recent one. Thescopenarrowsdownto16employedstrategies,each definedbyfinitetwo-stateautomata,whileaccountingforpotentialimplementationerrorsinthe computationofstrategypayoffs.Dominant strategies are determined by assessing the interaction payoffs among strategy pairs. This article centres on the calculation of equilibrium points among heteroclinic cycles, as there is a lack of a single strategy that is unequivocally dominant. Among thestrategy landscapes, S2 emerges as a standout performer, displaying remarkable stability that surpasses other strategies. Contrariwise, S14 is the least effective tactic.
