Social influence promotes cooperation in the public goods game

Wu, Te; Fu, Feng; Dou, Puxuan; Wang, Long - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 413 (2014) C, pp. 86-93

Previous studies mainly consider the random selection pattern in which individuals randomly choose reference models from their neighbors for strategy updating. However, the random selection pattern is unable to capture all real world circumstances. We institute a spatial model to investigate the...

A growth model that generates an n-tuple Zipf law

Gan, Xiaocong; Wang, Dahui; Han, Zhangang - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 390 (2011) 5, pp. 792-800

The n-tuple Zipf law widely exists in real symbol sequences such as DNA and language. Based on the n-tuple Zipf analysis on a vast amount of empirical data, we propose a model that can generate sequences with n-tuple Zipf features. In simple words, it is an iterative copy and paste process:...

Preferential selection promotes cooperation in a spatial public goods game

Shi, Dong-Mei; Yang, Han-Xin; Hu, Mao-Bin; Du, Wen-Bo; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 388 (2009) 21, pp. 4646-4650

We introduce a preferential selection mechanism into a spatial public goods game where players are located on a square … the neighbor’s payoff and A (≥0) is a tunable parameter. It is shown that the introduction of such a preferential … selection can remarkably promote the emergence of cooperation over a wide range of the multiplication factor. We find that the …
