We model the information traffic on scale-free networks considering the packets’ limited lifetime. In previous papers, an order parameter η, which reflects the accumulation of packets, has been employed to estimate traffic congestion; if η0, the traffic system is in the congestion state....

A fundamental question of human society is the evolution of cooperation. Many previous studies explored this question via setting spatial background, where players obtain their payoffs by playing game with their nearest neighbors. Another undoubted fact is that the environment plays an important...

In social and biological systems, there are obvious individual divergence and asymmetric payoff phenomenon due to the strength, power and influence differences. In this paper, we introduce an asymmetric payoff mechanism to evolutionary Prisoner’s Dilemma Game (PDG) on scale-free networks. The...

With the rapid development of the economy and the accelerated globalization process, the aviation industry plays a more and more critical role in today’s world, in both developed and developing countries. As the infrastructure of aviation industry, the airport network is one of the most...

In this paper, we study cooperative behavior among mobile agents; the agents have heterogenous view radii and they play the prisoner’s dilemma game with those being within their vision fields. It is found that the cooperation level is remarkably promoted when the heterogeneity of view radii is...

Considering the heterogeneity of individuals’ influence in the real world, we introduce a preferential selection mechanism to evolutionary games (the Prisoner’s Dilemma Game and the Snowdrift Game) on scale-free networks and focus on the cooperative behavior of the system. In every step,...

We introduce a preferential selection mechanism into a spatial public goods game where players are located on a square lattice. Each individual chooses one of its neighbors as a reference with a probability proportional to exp(Py∗A), where Py is the neighbor’s payoff and A (≥0) is a...

Considering the difference between the actual and expected payoffs, we bring a stochastic learning updating rule into an evolutionary Prisoners Dilemma game and the Snowdrift game on scale-free networks, and then investigate how the expectation level A and environmental noise κ influence...

We introduce a deterministic aspiration-based learning mechanism into the prisoner’s dilemma game on regular lattices and then investigate the evolution of cooperation for different values of aspiration level A. It is found that the cooperation level exhibits discontinuous phase transition...

The public goods game (PGG) is generally considered as a suitable paradigm to explain ubiquitous cooperative behavior. In this study, we investigated the evolutionary PGG on scale-free networks and studied the effect of individual heterogeneity by setting the cooperator x an investment value...
