The effect of evolution of spatial locality in the N-person iterated prisoner' dilemma

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to consider the dynamics of the evolution of spatial locality in the N-Person Iterated prisoner's Dilemma by focusing on two essential factors: the scale of interaction (which decides the neighboring members playing the N-Person games) and the scale of reproduction (which decides the neighboring candidates occupying each cell in the next generation). We conducted the evolutionary experiment of the evolution of strategies for one-dimensional N-IIPD with/without the evolution of these two factors. The result has shown that the dynamic evolution of the scale of interaction could facilitate the emergence of the global cooperation when the scale of reproduction was relatively small.
