Leaders should not be conformists in evolutionary social dilemmas

Abstract: 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 selection for cooperation is enhanced if an appropriate fraction of the population chooses the most common rather than the most profitable strategy within the interaction range. Such conformity might be due to herding instincts or crowd behavior in humans and social animals. In a heterogeneous population where individuals differ in th… Show more

“…Nowadays, the importance of the dynamic games has been fully recognized [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . For the most of dynamic games, the number of players participating at each time in the game and the time interval, in which the players are involved, in the game are fixed.…”
