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...

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...

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...
