Public goods games in directed networks

نویسندگان

چکیده

Public goods games in undirected networks are generally known to have pure Nash equilibria, which easy find. In contrast, we prove that, directed networks, a broad range of public intractable equilibrium problems: The existence equilibria is NP-hard decide, and mixed PPAD-hard We define general utility games, complexity dichotomy result for finding PPAD-completeness proof equilibria. Even the divisible variant problem, where prove, PPAD-complete. Finally, when treewidth network appropriately bounded, that polynomial-time algorithms possible.

Public goods games on adaptive coevolutionary networks.

Productive societies feature high levels of cooperation and strong connections between individuals. Public Goods Games (PGGs) are frequently used to study the development of social connections and cooperative behavior in model societies. In such games, contributions to the public good are made only by cooperators, while all players, including defectors, reap public goods benefits, which are sha...

Public Goods Games

Centralized sanctioning institutions are of utmost importance for overcoming free-riding tendencies and enforcing outcomes that maximize group welfare in social dilemma situations. However, little is known about how such institutions come into existence. In this paper we investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the endogenous formation of institutions in a public goods game. Our theo...

Public goods in networks

This paper considers incentives to provide goods that are non-excludable along social or geographic links. We find, first, that networks can lead to specialization in public good provision. In every social network there is an equilibrium where some individuals contribute and others free-ride. In many networks, this extreme is the only outcome. Second, specialization can benefit society as a who...

Extinction rates in tumor public goods games

Cancer evolution and progression are shaped by cellular interactions and Darwinian selection. Evolutionary game theory incorporates both of these principles, and has been proposed as a framework to understand tumor cell population dynamics. A cornerstone of evolutionary dynamics is the replicator equation, which describes changes in the relative abundance of different cell types, and is able to...
