About this paper

Xiyang Hu

The authors model LLM search competition as an infinitely repeated game where two providers choose whether to manipulate rankings, with attack success, cost, market degradation, and patience shaping payoffs. Under Grim Trigger, cooperation can persist above a threshold. In this theoretical model, lower success can locally raise defection incentives, while a cap may leave the best payoff unchanged under specified conditions.
