Evolutionary dynamics in stochastic nonlinear public goods games

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Cooperation in multi-player games is influenced by nonlinear interactions and randomness found in natural and social systems. The authors develop a probabilistic framework and find that stronger nonlinear effects enhance cooperation by boosting the collective benefits of working together, and that network reciprocity loses effectiveness when synergistic interactions are rare.
