Evolution of Coordination in Social Networks: A Numerical Study

Marco Tomassini, Enea Pestelacci

Coordination games are important to explain efficient and desirable social behavior. Here we study these games by extensive numerical simulation on networked social structures usin…

Mutual Trust and Cooperation in the Evolutionary Hawks-Doves Game

Marco Tomassini, Enea Pestelacci, Leslie Luthi

Using a new dynamical network model of society in which pairwise interactions are weighted according to mutual satisfaction, we show that cooperation is the norm in the Hawks-Doves…

Conformity Hinders the Evolution of Cooperation on Scale-Free Networks

Jorge Pena, Henri Volken, Enea Pestelacci +1

We study the effects of conformity, the tendency of humans to imitate locally common behaviors, in the evolution of cooperation when individuals occupy the vertices of a graph and…

Evolutionary Games on Networks and Payoff Invariance Under Replicator Dynamics

Leslie Luthi, Marco Tomassini, Enea Pestelacci

The commonly used accumulated payoff scheme is not invariant with respect to shifts of payoff values when applied locally in degree-inhomogeneous population structures. We propose…

Evolution of Cooperation and Coordination in a Dynamically Networked Society

Enea Pestelacci, Marco Tomassini, Leslie Luthi

Situations of conflict giving rise to social dilemmas are widespread in society and game theory is one major way in which they can be investigated. Starting from the observation th…

Evolutionary Dilemmas in a Social Network

L. Luthi, E. Pestelacci, M. Tomassini

We simulate the prisoner's dilemma and hawk-dove games on a real social acquaintance network. Using a discrete analogue of replicator dynamics, we show that surprisingly high level…
