Notes to Table 1: T=total periods of simulation; 32 periods considered in

the statistics, T-32,...,T. If T=32 all

the periods of the simulation are included in the

statistics. The basic action is the use level of the resource, xitk, by agent i

Q

=1,..,8 at period t=1,..,T for run k=1
T

,..,100 (random seeds 0.005 through 0.995). The

aggregate resource use Xtk= xitk and its average
i=1

for each run is Xk =

1 Xtk
τt=T-τ+1

. The significance tests are carried out, using Xk as a single observation,

under the null hypothesis H0 that the random variables Zi are iid and normally distributed. Parameters of the GA: K=6, N=8, L=8, pm=0.02; GA v.5.0.
