Reinforcement learning with reputation-based adaptive exploration promotes cooperation
An Li, Wenqiang Zhu, Chaoqian Wang +5
Reinforcement learning provides a framework for studying how individuals adjust their behavior through repeated interaction and feedback in social dilemmas. In Q-learning, explorat…
The survival of the weakest in a biased donation game
Chaoqian Wang, Jingyang Li, Xinwei Wang +2
Cooperating first then mimicking the partner's act has been proven to be effective in utilizing reciprocity in social dilemmas. However, the extent to which this, called Tit-for-Ta…
Offer of a reward does not always promote trust in spatial games
Haidong Zhang, Chaoqian Wang, Shuo Liu +3
Trust is one of the cornerstones of human society. One of the evolutionary pressure mechanisms that may have led to its emergence is the presence of incentives for trustworthy beha…
Punishment in bipartite societies
Sinan Feng, Genjiu Xu, Yu Chen +2
From ant-acacia mutualism to performative conflict resolution among Inuit, dedicated punishments between distinct subsets of a population are widespread and can reshape the evoluti…
Post-Disaster Resource Redistribution and Cooperation Evolution Based on Two-Layer Network Evolutionary Games
Yu Chen, Genjiu Xu, Sinan Feng +1
In the aftermath of large-scale disasters, the scarcity of resources and the paralysis of infrastructure raise severe challenges to effective post-disaster recovery. Efficient coor…
Inter-role reciprocity in evolutionary trust game on square lattices
Chaoqian Wang, Wei Zhang, Xinwei Wang +1
Simulating bipartite games, such as the trust game, is not straightforward due to the lack of a natural way to distinguish roles in a single population. The square lattice topology…
Evolution of cooperation and competition in multilayer networks
Wenqiang Zhu, Xin Wang, Chaoqian Wang +5
Cooperation and competition coexist and coevolve in natural and social systems. Cooperation generates resources, which in turn, drive non-cooperative competition to secure individu…
Co-evolution of cooperation and resource allocation in the advantageous environment-based spatial multi-game using adaptive control
Chengbin Sun, Alfonso de Miguel-Arribas, Chaoqian Wang +2
In real-life complex systems, individuals often encounter multiple social dilemmas that cannot be effectively captured using a single-game model. Furthermore, the environment and l…
Public goods games on any population structure
Chaoqian Wang, Qi Su
Understanding the emergence of cooperation in social networks has advanced through pairwise interactions, but the corresponding theory for group-based public goods games (PGGs) rem…
Evolutionary dynamics in stochastic nonlinear public goods games
Wenqiang Zhu, Xin Wang, Chaoqian Wang +6
Understanding the evolution of cooperation in multiplayer games is of vital significance for natural and social systems. An important challenge is that group interactions often lea…
Competition between self- and other-regarding preferences in resolving social dilemmas
Chaoqian Wang, Attila Szolnoki
Evolutionary game theory assumes that individuals maximize their benefits when choosing strategies. However, an alternative perspective proposes that individuals seek to maximize t…
Evolutionary dynamics of any multiplayer game on regular graphs
Chaoqian Wang, Matjaž Perc, Attila Szolnoki
Multiplayer games on graphs are at the heart of theoretical descriptions of key evolutionary processes that govern vital social and natural systems. However, a comprehensive theore…
Memory-based involution dilemma on square lattices
Chaochao Huang, Chaoqian Wang
When involution affects individuals, their efforts do not augment resources but merely compete for limited resources. From entrance exams to company overtime, such efforts lead to…
Reputation-based synergy and discounting mechanism promotes cooperation
Wenqiang Zhu, Xin Wang, Chaoqian Wang +3
A good group reputation often facilitates more efficient synergistic teamwork in production activities. Here we translate this simple motivation into a reputation-based synergy and…
The role of intra- and inter-group Matthew effect in the social dilemma of public goods games
Chaoqian Wang
The Matthew effect describes the phenomenon where the rich tend to get richer. Such a success-driven mechanism has been studied in spatial public goods games in an inter-group way,…
Evolution of trust in structured populations
Chaoqian Wang
The trust game, derived from an economics experiment, has recently attracted interest in the field of evolutionary dynamics. In a recent version of the evolutionary trust game, pla…
A general epidemic model and its application to mask design considering different preferences towards masks
Chaoqian Wang, Hamdi Kavak
While most masks have a limited effect on personal protection, how effective are they for collective protection? How to enlighten the design of masks from the perspective of collec…
A reversed form of public goods game: equivalence and difference
Chaoqian Wang, Attila Szolnoki
According to the public goods game (PGG) protocol, participants decide freely whether they want to contribute to a common pool or not, but the resulting benefit is distributed equa…
Involution game with spatio-temporal heterogeneity of social resources
Chaoqian Wang, Attila Szolnoki
When group members claim a portion of limited resources, it is tempting to invest more effort to get a larger share. However, if everyone acts similarly, they all get the same piec…
