Evolutionary Dynamics on a Regular Networked Structured and Unstructured Multi-population

Abstract

In this paper we study collective decision making on a multi-population, represented by a regular network of groups of individuals. Each group consists of a collection of players and every player can choose between two options. A group is characterised by variables denoting the fractions of individuals committed to each respective option, and they are influenced by the state of neighboring groups. First, we study its steady-state and show that the equilibrium is a consensus equilibrium. We also derive a sufficient condition for local asymptotic stability. Then, we study a structured model where every population is now assumed to represent a structured complex network. We conclude the paper with simulations, corroborating the obtained theoretical findings.
