Modulating biodiversity through higher-order interactions and intraspecific competition in rock-paper-scissors dynamics
Chunpeng Du, Haoshu Wang, Yikang Lu +2
Understanding the mechanisms that govern species coexistence and biodiversity represents a fundamental challenge in ecology. This study extends the classic rock-paper-scissors mode…
Neutral species facilitate coexistence among cyclically competing species under birth and death processes
Yikang Lu, Wenhao She, Xiaofang Duan +1
Natural birth and death are fundamental mechanisms of population dynamics in ecosystems and have played pivotal roles in shaping population dynamics. Nevertheless, in studies of cy…
Shaping the learning signal in a combined Q-learning rule to improve structured cooperation
Chunpeng Du, Zongyang Li, Yali Zhang +2
Q-learning provides a standard reinforcement learning framework for studying cooperation by specifying how agents update action values from repeated local interactions outcomes. Al…
Evolutionary vaccination dynamics under higher-order reinforcement pressure
Yikang Lu, Ying Wang, Alfonso de Miguel-Arribas +2
Vaccination games in higher-order settings remain underexplored, despite their importance in shaping opinions and collective decisions. Here, we introduce a parsimonious behavioral…
Edge-based reputation promotes cooperation in simplicial complexes
Chunpeng Du, Fei Fang, Alfonso de Miguel-Arribas +4
Understanding how cooperation emerges and persists is a central challenge in the evolutionary dynamics of social and biological systems. Most prior studies have examined cooperatio…
Prediction of social dilemmas in networked populations via graph neural networks
Huaiyu Tan, Yikang Lu, Alfonso de Miguel-Arribas +1
Human behavior presents significant challenges for data-driven approaches and machine learning, particularly in modeling the emergent and complex dynamics observed in social dilemm…
