In the past years, network theory has successfully characterized the interaction among the
constituents of a variety of complex systems, ranging from biological to technological, and …

Why would natural selection favor the prevalence of cooperation within the groups of selfish
individuals? A fruitful framework to address this question is evolutionary game theory, the …

In most natural and engineered systems, a set of entities interact with each other in
complicated patterns that can encompass multiple types of relationships, change in time and …

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 …

Several systems can be modeled as sets of interconnected networks or networks with
multiple types of connections, here generally called multilayer networks. Spreading …

Many network systems are composed of interdependent but distinct types of interactions,
which cannot be fully understood in isolation. These different types of interactions are often …

Human societies include diverse social relationships. Friends, family, business colleagues
and online contacts can all contribute to one's social life. Individuals may behave differently …

Understanding large-scale cooperation among unrelated individuals is one of the greatest
challenges of the 21st century. Since human cooperation evolves on social networks, the …

In this paper, we mainly probe into the evolution of cooperation in the spatial public goods
game on interdependent lattices by introducing the reputation inferring mechanism into the …

Most environments favor defection over cooperation due to natural selection. Nonetheless,
the emergence of cooperation is omnipresent in many biological, social, and economic …
