The Sense of Cooperation on Interdependent Networks Inspired by Influence-Based Self-Organization

Influence, as an inherently special attribute, is bound to profoundly affect a player’s behavior. Meanwhile, growing body of studies suggests that interactions among networks may be more important than isolated ones. Thus, we try our best research whether such setup can stimulate the sense cooperation in spatial prisoner’s dilemma games through co-evolution strategy imitation and interdependence structures. To specific, once influence exceeds critical threshold τ, they will permitted build connection with corresponding partner on another network self-organized way, thus gaining additional payoff. However, changes dynamically spread strategy, resulting time-varying connections between networks. Our results show influence-based self-organization facilitate cooperation, even under quite poor conditions, where cannot flourish single network. Furthermore, there optimal τ optimize evolution cooperation. Through microcosmic statistical analysis, are surprised find spontaneous emergence networks, especially those cooperators, plays key role alleviating social dilemmas. Finally, uncover if links adjusted random ones, blocked, but it still better relying simple reciprocity lattice.
