چکیده

The Prisoner's Dilemma has been widely studied as a model for the evolution of cooperation, and most of this work has dealt with agents who either cooperate or not. In this paper we look at the consequences of allowing agents to have intermediate levels of cooperation, and to update these levels over time. The familiar strategy of "tit for tat" emerges as a robust mode of behaviour, yet there are important differences between this case and that of "all or nothing" cooperation.

Degrees of Separation, Social Learning, and the Evolution of Cooperation in a Small-World Network

We analyze a novel agent-based model of a social network in which agents make contributions to others conditional upon the social distance, which we measure in terms of the “degrees of separation” between the two players. On the basis of a simple imitation model, the emerging strategy profile is characterized by high levels of cooperation with those who are directly connected to the agent and l...

The evolution of function-valued traits for conditional cooperation.

In this paper we study the evolution of function-valued traits for cooperation in environments that display varying degrees of population viscosity. Traits measure an individual's intrinsic propensity to cooperate in a standard bilateral Prisoner's dilemma and can be increasing, decreasing or constant functions of the probability to interact with individuals of ones own genotype. We first analy...

Geochemistry and Tectonic Setting of Pleistocene Basaltic Lava Flows in the Shahre-Babak Area, NW of Kerman, Iran: Implication for the Evolution of Urumieh- Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage

Pleistocene basaltic lava flows, consisting of trachybasalt and basaltic trachyandesite, cover an area north-northwest of Shahre-Babak in southeastern Iran. The whole rock chemistry indicates that the lavas are dominantly alkaline and mildly calc-alkaline. Variation diagrams of SiO2 with major and trace elements are consistent with fractional crystallization processes involving olivine, pyroxen...

Evolution of Continuous Degrees of Cooperation in an N-Player Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma

The iterated prisoner's dilemma (iPD) in its standard form is a very well known, popular basis for research on cooperation. Here, a signiicant generalization of the iPD is presented in form of a N-player game, instead of only two players, with continuous degrees of cooperation, instead of binary cooperation or defection. This continuous N-player PD (CN-PD) is motivated and explained by an actua...
