Networks form the backbone of many complex systems, ranging from the Internet to human
societies. Accordingly, not only is the range of our interactions limited and thus best …

Since the recent introduction of several viable vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, vaccination uptake
has become the key factor that will determine our success in containing the COVID-19 …

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

We study the evolution of public cooperation on two interdependent networks that are
connected by means of a utility function, which determines to what extent payoffs in one …

The pursuit of highest payoffs in evolutionary social dilemmas is risky and sometimes inferior
to conformity. Choosing the most common strategy within the interaction range is safer …

This article is a brief introduction to the special issue 'Evolution of cooperation'published by
the Journal of Theoretical Biology to mark its 50th anniversary. Cooperation is a favorite …

Prosocial incentive can promote cooperation, but providing incentive is costly. Institutions in
human society may prefer to use an incentive strategy which is able to promote cooperation …

We have studied the evolution of strategies in spatial public goods games where both
individual (peer) and institutional (pool) punishments are present in addition to …

Wealthy individuals may be less tempted to defect than those with comparatively low
payoffs. To take this into consideration, we introduce coevolutionary success-driven …

The most common assumption in evolutionary game theory is that players should adopt a
strategy that warrants the highest payoff. However, recent studies indicate that the spatial …
