Evolution of cooperation with Q-learning: how much information do we need?

Yile Ku, Xin Ou, Jiqiang Zhang +3

Cooperation is ubiquitous in both natural and human societies, yet its evolutionary basis remains a major challenge. A long-standing puzzle is whether having more information leads…

Emergence of cooperation: A reputation-modulated reinforcement learning

Chenyang Zhao, Jiqiang Zhang, Li Chen +1

Reputation is widely recognized as a key mechanism for sustaining cooperation. However, most existing game-theoretic models treat reputation primarily as an external factor that mo…

The effect of role-based resource allocation on epidemic dynamics

Hao-Xiang Jiang, Chao-Ran Cai, Ji-Qiang Zhang +1

We propose a coupled dynamical model of resource allocation and epidemic spread, inspired by the hierarchical structure of real-world therapeutic resource allocation. In this frame…

Dynamical reciprocity in interacting games: numerical results and mechanism analysis

Rizhou Liang, Qinqin Wang, Jiqiang Zhang +3

We study the evolution of two mutually interacting games with both pairwise games as well as the public goods game on different topologies. On 2d square lattices, we reveal that th…
