Mutation mitigates finite-size effects in spatial evolutionary games

Chen Shen, Zhixue He, Lei Shi +1

Agent-based simulations are essential for studying cooperation on spatial networks. However, finite-size effects -- random fluctuations due to limited network sizes -- can cause ce…

Indirect punishment can outperform direct punishment in promoting cooperation in structured populations

Yujia Wen, Zhixue He, Chen Shen +1

Indirect punishment traditionally sustains cooperation in social systems through reputation or norms, often by reducing defectors' payoffs indirectly. In this study, we redefine in…

Beyond a binary theorizing of prosociality

Chen Shen, Zhixue He, Hao Guo +4

A stylized experiment, the public goods game, has taught us the peculiar reproducible fact that humans tend to contribute more to shared resources than expected from economically r…

Detection of Contact Binary Candidates Observed By TESS Using Autoencoder Neural Network

Xu Ding, ZhiMing Song, ChuanJun Wang +1

Contact binary may be the progenitor of a red nova that eventually produces a merger event and have a cut-off period around 0.2 days. Therefore, a large number of contact binaries…

Constructive agents nullify the ability of destructive agents to foster cooperation in public goods games

Yuting Dong, Zhixue He, Chen Shen +2

Existing studies have revealed a paradoxical phenomenon in public goods games, wherein destructive agents, harming both cooperators and defectors, can unexpectedly bolster cooperat…

Enhancing social cohesion with cooperative bots in societies of greedy, mobile individuals

Lei Shi, Zhixue He, Chen Shen +1

Addressing collective issues in social development requires a high level of social cohesion, characterized by cooperation and close social connections. However, social cohesion is…

Mixed strategy approach destabilizes cooperation in finite populations with clustering coefficient

Zehua Si, Zhixue He, Chen Shen +1

Evolutionary game theory, encompassing discrete, continuous, and mixed strategies, is pivotal for understanding cooperation dynamics. Discrete strategies involve deterministic acti…

Stability of pairwise social dilemma games: destructive agents, constructive agents, and their joint effects

Khadija Khatun, Chen Shen, Lei Shi +1

Destructive agents, who opt out of the game and indiscriminately harm others, paradoxically foster cooperation, representing an intriguing variant of the voluntary participation st…
