Complex dynamics and synchronization of a duopoly game with bounded rationality. (English)
[J] Math. Comput. Simul. 58, No.2, 133-146 (2002). ISSN 0378-4754

Consider a symmetric Cournot duopoly with a unique Nash equilibrium. Specify the out-of-equilibrium dynamics as a system of first-order nonlinear difference equations as described by Cournot, with speed of adjustment parameter $\alpha$. The paper shows that the boundaries of the problem are an unstable rest point. For small values of $\alpha$, the Nash equilibrium is stable, while larger values of a lead to complex dynamics.
