Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

Heterogeneity is omnipresent in the real world, which plays a vital role in affecting the
evolution of cooperation. Within this paper, we will discard the hypothesis of deterministic …

Reputation plays a crucial role in social interactions by affecting the fitness of individuals
during an evolutionary process. Previous works have extensively studied the result of …

Elucidating the mechanisms that lead to the emergence, evolution, and survival of
cooperation in natural systems is still one of the main scientific challenges of current times …

Cooperation is key to the survival of all biological systems. The spatial structure of a system
constrains who interacts with whom (interaction partner) and who acquires new traits from …

The progression of game theory from classical to evolutionary and spatial games provided a
powerful means to study cooperation, and enabled a better understanding of general …

How do networks of social interaction govern the emergence and stability of prosocial
behavior? Theoretical studies of this question typically assume unconditional behavior …

At present, the reputation evaluation problem caused by resource constraints significantly
influences group cooperation behavior, and cannot be considered and solved in the …

Imitation based on fitness comparison has long been a representative strategy updating
method in evolutionary game theory, with the pursuit of profit maximization at its core …

Nowadays, a large number of complex systems have been characterized by networks
connecting the pairwise interacting agents. However, from human decision-making …
