Spatial prisoner’s dilemma games with increasing size of the interaction neighborhood on regular lattices

We studied the evolution of cooperation in the prisoner’s dilemma game on a square lattice where the size of the interaction neighborhood is considered. Firstly, the effects of noise and the

It is found that increasing the probability of adopting the strategy from the fittest player within reach, i.e., setting w positive, promotes the evolution of cooperation, and the introduction of w effectively alters the interaction network and thus also the impact of uncertainty by strategy adoptions on the Evolution of cooperation.

Diversity of reproduction rate supports cooperation in the prisoner's dilemma game on complex networks

The results suggest that the diversity in the reproduction capability, related to inherently different attitudes of individuals, can enforce the emergence of cooperative behavior among selfish competitors.

Spatial structure often inhibits the evolution of cooperation in the snowdrift game

The results caution against the common belief that spatial structure is necessarily beneficial for cooperative behaviour, and show that no such general predictions can be made for the effects of spatial structure in the snowdrift game.

Heterogeneous Aspirations Promote Cooperation in the Prisoner's Dilemma Game

The study indicates that heterogeneity in aspirations may be key for the sustainability of cooperation in structured populations and finds that for sufficiently positive values of there exist a robust intermediate for which cooperation thrives best.

Selection of noise level in strategy adoption for spatial social dilemmas.

A thorough overview about the properties of this evolutionary process in spatial Prisoner's Dilemma and Stag Hunt games where both the strategy distribution and the players' individual noise level could evolve to reach higher individual payoff is given.

Evolutionary games and spatial chaos

MUCH attention has been given to the Prisoners' Dilemma as a metaphor for the problems surrounding the evolution of coopera-tive behaviour1–6. This work has dealt with the relative merits of various

Effects of fluctuations on the evolution of cooperation in the prisoner's dilemma game

The instabilities and fluctuations of individual fitness induced by some uncertain factors are ubiquitous in the real world. In this letter we study how the individual fitness fluctuations affect the

Diversity of reproduction time scale promotes cooperation in spatial prisoner's dilemma games.

An evolutionary spatial prisoner's dilemma game where the fitness of the players is determined by both the payoffs from the current interaction and their history and another factor to promote cooperation is a diversity of reproduction time scales.
