We investigate the spreading processes of epidemic diseases among many residential sites for different disease characteristics and different population distributions by constructing and solving a set of integrodifferential equations for the evolutions of position-dependent infected and infective...

By incorporating local traffic information into the shortest path routing strategy, we numerically investigate the effectiveness of the traffic awareness routing strategy for scale-free networks with different clustering. In order to characterize the efficiency of the packet-delivery process, we...

For the multi-agent spatial Parrondo’s games, the available theoretical analysis methods based on the discrete-time Markov chain were assumed that the losing and winning states of an ensemble of N players were represented to be the system states. The number of system states was 2N types....

In an ultimatum game where competitive pressures and alternating roles exist, we suppose that players make their decisions based on the net profit of their own. Here we conduct a behavioral experiment in a selection examination, and then we establish a model and study the evolution of strategies...

We assume a multi-agent model based on Parrondo’s games. The model consists of game A between individuals and game B. In game A, two behavioral patterns are defined: competition and inaction. A controlled alternation strategy of behavioral pattern that gives a single player the highest return...

In our previous study [Zhu et al., Quantum game interpretation for a special case of Parrondo’s paradox, Physica A 390 (2011) 579], the capital-dependent Parrondo’s game where one game depends on the capital modulus M=4 was shown not to have a definite stationary probability distribution and...

A multi-agent Parrondo’s model is proposed in the paper. The model includes link A based on the rewiring mechanism (the network evolution) + game B (dependent on the spatial neighbors). Moreover, to produce the paradoxical effect and analyze the “agitating” effect of the network...

Based on the original Parrondo’s game and on the case where game A and game B are played randomly with modulo M=4, the processes of the game are divided into odd and even numbered plays, where the probability of playing game A in odd numbers is γ1 and the probability of playing game A in even...
