I don't think you can express the condition for tit-for-tat to be an equilibrium as a condition in a difference of two payoffs only since three payoffs are involved. The temptation payoff T, the reward payoff R and the sucker payoff S. [View full text and thread]
Hi! I understand now but I'm afraid my knowledge's not up to task :)
Keep your question here and I'm sure someone would help you with it as soon as they can. [View full text and thread]

Thank you Brandon for your eager answer. Let me be more specific about what I am particularly interested. When you repeat the prisoner's dilemma infitinitely many times, there arise many Nash equilibrium strategy. One of them is Tit for [View full text and thread]
I think I should get it right and more specific here....
When both players cooperate they are both rewarded at an equal, intermediate level (reward, R).
Now we want to create a chance to "cheat" so,
When only one player defects, he receives the highest level of payoff (Highest payoff,HP, where HP>R ), while the other player gets the lowest payoff(lowest payoff,LP, where LP<R<HP).
Now, we need to construct payoff for the (Paradox) Nash Equilibrium: where both confess and cheat.
When both players defect they each receive an intermediate penalty,(P). Here, LP<P<R<HP [Manage messages]
Hi! I'm not sure a "standard procedure" to go about assigning payoffs but I think one should be able to construct your own simple payoff matrix while keeping the following in mind:
No matter what the other player does, you'll be [View full text and thread]

While assigning payoffs to strategies in prisoner's dilemma, what conditions should we impose on the payoffs? [View full text and thread]
