Imitation is widely observed in nature and often used to model populations of decision-
making agents, but it is not yet known under what conditions a network of imitators will reach …

Microscopic strategy update rules play an important role in the evolutionary dynamics of
cooperation among interacting agents on complex networks. Many previous related works …

The basic architecture of the RBETS model is shown in Figure A1, which is divided into the
following three layers:(1) Physical layer. At the bottom of RBETS is the physical layer, where …

In this letter, we deal with evolutionary game-theoretic learning processes for population
games on networks with dynamically evolving communities. Specifically, we propose a …

Efficient coverage for newly developed vaccines requires knowing which groups of
individuals will accept the vaccine immediately and which will take longer to accept or never …

Autonomous cooperation of unmanned swarms is the research focus on “new combat
forces” and “disruptive technologies” in military fields. The mechanism design is the …

Whether a population of decision-makers reach a state of satisfactory decisions is a
fundamental problem in studying collective behaviors. In the framework of evolutionary …

Social norms and conventions are commonly accepted and adopted behaviors and
