Prevalence of cooperation within groups of selfish individuals is puzzling in that it contradicts
with the basic premise of natural selection. Favoring players with higher fitness, the latter is …

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 …

Interactions among living organisms, from bacteria colonies to human societies, are
inherently more complex than interactions among particles and non-living matter. Group …

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 …

Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology,
Second Edition presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological …

We study the evolution of cooperation in public goods games on different regular graphs as
a function of the noise level underlying strategy adoptions. We focus on the effects that are …

The efficiency of institutionalized punishment is studied by evaluating the stationary states in
the spatial public goods game comprising unconditional defectors, cooperators, and …

To be the fittest is central to proliferation in evolutionary games. Individuals thus adopt the
strategies of better performing players in the hope of successful reproduction. In structured …

Over the past decades it has become clear that the metaphor of networks–ensembles of
discrete nodes connected by links–offers a powerful conceptual framework for the …

Abstract Evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma games with quenched inhomogeneities in the
spatial dynamical rules are considered. The players following one of the two pure strategies …
