Why would natural selection favor the prevalence of cooperation within the groups of selfish
individuals? A fruitful framework to address this question is evolutionary game theory, the …

Game theory is one of the key paradigms behind many scientific disciplines from biology to
behavioral sciences to economics. In its evolutionary form and especially when the …

Evolutionary game dynamics is one of the most fruitful frameworks for studying evolution in
different disciplines, from Biology to Economics. Within this context, the approach of choice …

Real populations have been shown to be heterogeneous, in which some individuals have
many more contacts than others. This fact contrasts with the traditional homogeneous setting …

Understanding the mechanisms that can lead to the evolution of cooperation through natural
selection is a core problem in biology. Among the various attempts at constructing a theory …

An accessible and multidisciplinaryintroduction to cellular automata As the applicability of
cellular automata broadens and technology advances, there is a need for a concise, yet …

The genetic evolution of altruism (ie, a behavior resulting in a net reduction of the survival
and/or reproduction of an actor to benefit a recipient) once perplexed biologists because it …

We explore the coupled dynamics of the internal states of a set of interacting elements and
the network of interactions among them. Interactions are modeled by a spatial game and the …

The effects of payoffs and noise on the maintenance of cooperative behavior are studied in
an evolutionary prisoner's dilemma game with players located on the sites of different two …

We have studied an evolutionary prisoner's dilemma game with players located on two types
of random regular graphs with a degree of 4. The analysis is focused on the effects of …
