Behavioral differences and the evolution of cooperation in adaptive social networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cooperation is essential in every society, but puzzling from an evolutionary perspective. Here, we discuss the work published in [11], where we address the role of behavioral differences — ubiquitous among Humans — in the evolution of cooperation. We study a model in which individuals interact along the edges of a complex network, engaging in social dilemmas of cooperation. The structure of the network changes in time, as new interactions arise whereas old ones disappear. Interactions may last long or brief, depending on the behavior of the individuals involved. When dissatisfied about a partner, some will try to break contact as soon as possible, whereas others will remain in touch. We adopt the framework of evolutionary game theory (EGT) and show how diversity in response to unwanted social interactions boosts cooperation. Moreover, diversity remains once cooperation sets in, providing the means to establish cooperation as a robust evolutionary strategy.

Emergence of Cooperation in Adaptive Social Networks with Behavioral Diversity
Whether by nature or nurture, humans often respond differently when facing the same situation. Yet, the role of behavioral differences between individuals when immersed in their social network remains largely ignored in most problems of natural and social sciences. Here, we investigate how diversity in the way individuals assess their adverse social partners affects the evolution of cooperation...
متن کاملReacting differently to adverse ties promotes cooperation in social networks.
We investigate how diversity in individual responses to unwanted interactions affects the evolution of cooperation modeled as a 2-person prisoner's dilemma. We combine adaptive networks and evolutionary game theory, showing analytically how the coevolution of social dynamics, network dynamics, and behavioral differences benefit the entire community even though myopic individuals still act in th...

متن کاملOn the effect of low-quality node observation on learning over incremental adaptive networks
In this paper, we study the impact of low-quality node on the performance of incremental least mean square (ILMS) adaptive networks. Adaptive networks involve many nodes with adaptation and learning capabilities. Low-quality mode in the performance of a node in a practical sensor network is modeled by the observation of pure noise (its observation noise) that leads to an unreliable measurement....
