The prisoners dilemma on a stochastic non-growth network evolution model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the evolution of cooperation on a non growth network model with death/birth dynamics. Nodes reproduce under selection for higher payoffs in a prisoners dilemma game played between network neighbours. The mean field characteristics of the model are explored and an attempt is made to understand the size dependent behaviour of the model in terms of fluctuations in the strategy densities. We also briefly comment on the role of strategy mutation in regulating the strategy densties.

Prisoners' Dilemma Supergame on Rectangle Lattice
In this paper a class of large supergames, i.e., infinitely repeated games played by many players are studied. The players located on the vertex set of planar rectangle lattice play several basic games with his neighbors. The basic game is two-person prisoners’ dilemma game with asymmetric payoffs. Under the conditions of the pre-specified updating rules and the transition probabilities, the re...
متن کاملNon-Trivial Solutions to the N-Person Prisoners’ Dilemma
We have developed a new agent-based simulation tool to model social dilemmas for the case of a large number of not necessarily rational decision-makers (Szilagyi and Szilagyi, 2000). The combination of various personalities with stochastic learning makes it possible to simulate the multi-person Prisoners’ Dilemma game for realistic situations. A variety of personality profiles and their arbitra...
متن کاملThe evolution of cooperation in Prisoners’ Dilemma with an endogenous learning mutant
We consider a population initially consisting of cooperators and defectors, who are engaged in a Prisoners’ Dilemma. A knowledgeable mutant is introduced who memorizes other players by experience. We derive a formal model which allows us to describe the growth of the mutant’s knowledge of defectors in a precise way. When meeting known defectors, the mutant is assumed to avoid exploitation by re...
متن کاملRoles of Space and Geometry in the Spatial Prisoners’ Dilemma
The spatial prisoners’ dilemma is a useful model in stochastic game theory that can help probe spatial complexity classes and quantify macroscopic emergent properties. Repeated simulation experiments with different temptation payo↵ parameter values and with varying initial proportions of defector players indicate a detailed structure in phase space that exhibits sharp transitions regardless of ...
