Replicator equation on networks with degree regular communities

Abstract: The replicator equation is one of the fundamental tools to study evolutionary dynamics in well-mixed populations. This paper contributes to the literature on evolutionary graph theory, providing a version of the replicator equation for a family of connected networks with communities, where nodes in the same community have the same degree. This replicator equation is applied to the study of different classes of games, exploring the impact of the graph structure on the equilibria of the evolutionary dynamics.

“…This approach was extensively used to study cooperation in structured populations, where analytical expressions are derived for three update rules: Birth-Death (BD), Death-Birth (DB) and Imitation (IM) [7], [8]. A recent work has extended the replicator equation to regular communities, namely introducing heterogeneity in the game dynamics [9], and providing numerical results in terms of stability.…”

“…In well-mixed populations, where the literature historically begins, cooperation in prisoner's dilemma games is never favored [16]. For Bd updating, cooperation is also never favored on regular graphs like the cycle [17], in which every node has the same number of neighbors [9,[18][19][20][21].…”

“…In order to resist defection and promote cooperation, many effective mechanisms have been put forward in evolutionary game studies, such as kin selection, [10] direct reciprocity, [11][12][13] group selection, reputation, [14][15][16] reward, [17][18][19][20] punishment, [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] spatial structure, [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] and so on. [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] To further reveal the underlying reasons of the emergence of cooperation in the PGG, in this paper, we explore a new mechanism, i.e., deposit mechanism, which is originated from our real life. In the realistic world, people often prefer to get a product or service at a relatively lower price.…”
