Reinforcement learning facilitates an optimal interaction intensity for cooperation

Z Song, H Guo, D Jia, M Perc, X Li, Z Wang - Neurocomputing, 2022 - Elsevier
Our social interactions vary over time and they depend on various factors that determine our
preferences and goals, both in personal and professional terms. Researches have shown …

Antisocial pool rewarding does not deter public cooperation

A Szolnoki, M Perc - Proceedings of the Royal Society B …, 2015 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Rewarding cooperation is in many ways expected behaviour from social players. However,
strategies that promote antisocial behaviour are also surprisingly common, not just in human …

Promoting cooperation by punishing minority

HX Yang, X Chen - Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2018 - Elsevier
Punishment is an effective way to sustain cooperation among selfish individuals. In most of
previous studies, objects of punishment are set to be defectors. In this paper, we propose a …

Synergistic third-party rewarding and punishment in the public goods game

Y Fang, TP Benko, M Perc, H Xu… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We study the evolution of cooperation in the spatial public goods game in the presence of
third-party rewarding and punishment. The third party executes public intervention …

Zero-determinant strategies in iterated public goods game

L Pan, D Hao, Z Rong, T Zhou - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
Abstract Recently, Press and Dyson have proposed a new class of probabilistic and
conditional strategies for the two-player iterated Prisoner's Dilemma, so-called zero …

Heterogeneous cooperative leadership structure emerging from random regular graphs

Z Rong, ZX Wu, X Li, P Holme, G Chen - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary …, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
This paper investigates the evolution of cooperation and the emergence of hierarchical
leadership structure in random regular graphs. It is found that there exist different learning …

Effect of collective influence on the evolution of cooperation in evolutionary prisoner's dilemma games

Y Mao, Z Rong, ZX Wu - Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2021 - Elsevier
Node centrality plays an important role in many dynamical processes taking place on
complex networks. In this work, we associate the individuals' collective influence (CI) with …

Extortion provides alternative routes to the evolution of cooperation in structured populations

X Xu, Z Rong, ZX Wu, T Zhou, CK Tse - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
In this paper, we study the evolution of cooperation in structured populations (individuals are
located on either a regular lattice or a scale-free network) in the context of repeated games …

Reinforcement learning explains various conditional cooperation

Y Geng, Y Liu, Y Lu, C Shen, L Shi - Applied Mathematics and …, 2022 - Elsevier
Recent studies show that different update rules are invariant regarding the evolutionary
outcomes for a well-mixed population or homogeneous network. In this paper, we …

Cooperation guided by imitation, aspiration and conformity-driven dynamics in evolutionary games

L Zhang, C Huang, H Li, Q Dai, J Yang - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics …, 2021 - Elsevier
Pursuing maximal profit is a general motivation for rational players to update their strategies
in evolutionary games. Players could either imitate the more successful neighbors or adjust …
