Signed Networks, Triadic Interactions and the Evolution of Cooperation

arXiv:1309.7698 · doi:10.4204/EPTCS.130.17

Abstract

We outline a model to study the evolution of cooperation in a population of agents playing the prisoner's dilemma in signed networks. We highlight that if only dyadic interactions are taken into account, cooperation never evolves. However, when triadic considerations are introduced, a window of opportunity for emergence of cooperation as a stable behaviour emerges.
