Control of Harmful Information Spreading on Adaptive Higher-Order Networks via Group Dissolution

Longzhao Liu, Zhihao Han, Xingru Chen +4

Curbing harmful information contagion remains a critical challenge, motivating platform-level interventions such as group dissolution to sever transmission chains. However, in prac…

Evolution of cooperation in the multiplex

Zijie Chen, Xingru Chen, Feng Fu

Across biological and social systems, cooperation often depends on phenotypic cues rather than random encounters. To account for real-world interactions unfolding across multiple,…

Dynamics of Multi-Agent Actor-Critic Learning in Stochastic Games: from Multistability and Chaos to Stable Cooperation

Yuxin Geng, Wolfram Barfuss, Feng Fu +1

Achieving robust coordination and cooperation is a central challenge in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). Uncovering the mechanisms underlying such emergent behaviors call…

Social Imitation Dynamics of Vaccination Driven by Vaccine Effectiveness and Beliefs

Feng Fu, Ran Zhuo, Xingru Chen

Declines in vaccination coverage for vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles and chickenpox, have enabled their surprising comebacks and pose significant public health challe…

Mathematics of multi-agent learning systems at the interface of game theory and artificial intelligence

Long Wang, Feng Fu, Xingru Chen

Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two fields that, at first glance, might seem distinct, but they have notable connections and intersections. The…

The Geometry of Zero-Determinant Strategies

Xingru Chen, Long Wang, Feng Fu

The advent of Zero-Determinant (ZD) strategies has reshaped the study of reciprocity and cooperation in the iterated Prisoner's Dilemma games. The ramification of ZD strategies has…

Outlearning Extortioners by Fair-minded Unbending Strategies

Xingru Chen, Feng Fu

Recent theory shows that extortioners taking advantage of the zero-determinant (ZD) strategy can unilaterally claim an unfair share of the payoffs in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemm…
