We investigate the effect of community structure on the evolution of cooperation in the prisoner’s dilemma and the snowdrift game with dynamical linking. We show both analytically and numerically that cooperators are generally more favorable on community networks than on networks without...

Previous studies concerning mobile populations seldom distinguish mobility on the individual level. In these models, all individuals have the identical moving speed and this moving speed has not been clearly defined in terms of its relevance to other features intrinsic to individual. Here we...

Most previous studies concerning ultimatum games in structured population assume either that the game roles are assigned randomly between linked individuals or that the game is played twice in an interaction, alternating the roles of proposer and responder. We develop a model in which...

In most previous studies of public goods game, individuals conventionally donate their contributions equally to the games they participate in. We develop an extended public goods game model, in which individuals distribute their contributions based on the groups’ qualities. Namely, the...

We investigate the evolutionary prisoner’s dilemma with memory-based agents on a square lattice. By introducing memory effects into this game, we assume that individuals’ performance is evaluated in terms of the accumulative payoffs in their memories. It is shown that if individuals behave...

Previous studies concerning the prisoner’s dilemma game on graphs conventionally assume that individuals select role models from their replacement graphs at random. We propose a extended prisoner’s dilemma game model to study the impact of recommended role models on the evolution of...

Based on high gain feedback control theory, robust adaptive synchronization of dynamical network is investigated in this paper. When the non-linear coupling functions are unknown but with unknown bounded, some fairly simple robust adaptive scalar feedback controllers are derived. The key idea is...

Altruistic punishment for defectors is considered as a key motive for the explanation of cooperation. However, there is no clear border between the cooperative and defective behaviors in a continuous strategy game. We propose a model to study the effect of punishment on the evolution of...

A new robust adaptive synchronization approach for the global synchronization of complex dynamical networks is proposed. Both the characteristics of the uncoupled nodes of the network and the coupling matrix are unknown, but only a time-varying coupling strength is used in this paper. Based on...

We study the evolutionary Prisoner’s Dilemma game among individuals endowed with adaptively interaction intensity. Individuals adjust their interaction intensity according to the rules “payoff increase-high intensity, payoff decrease-low intensity”: if an individual’s payoff increases...
