Degree Variance and Emotional Strategies Catalyze Cooperation in Dynamic Signed Networks

Simone Righi, Károly Takács

We study the problem of the emergence of cooperation in dynamic signed networks where agent strategies coevolve with relational signs and network topology. Running simulations base…

Parallel versus Sequential Update and the Evolution of Cooperation with the Assistance of Emotional Strategies

Simone Righi, Károly Takács

Our study contributes to the debate on the evolution of cooperation in the single-shot Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) played on networks. We construct a model in which individuals are con…

Signed Networks, Triadic Interactions and the Evolution of Cooperation

Simone Righi, Károly Takács

We outline a model to study the evolution of cooperation in a population of agents playing the prisoner's dilemma in signed networks. We highlight that if only dyadic interactions…
