+**Abstract:** The structure of interaction plays an important role in the outcome of evolutionary games. This study investigates the evolution of stochastic strategies of the prisoner's dilemma played on structures ranging from lattices to small world networks. Strategies and payoffs are analyzed as a function of the network characteristics of the node they are playing on. Nodes with lattice-like neighborhoods tend to perform better than the nodes modified during the rewiring process of the construction of the small-world network.

-graphs of degree k. In the limit of weak selection, we can derive a differential equation which describes how the average frequency of each
-strategy on the graph changes over time. Remarkably, this equation is a replicator equation with a transformed payoff matrix. Therefore,
-moving a game from a well-mixed population (the complete graph) onto a regular graph simply results in a transformation of the payoff
-matrix. The new payoff matrix is the sum of the original payoff matrix plus another matrix, which describes the local competition of

+**Abstract:** A laboratory experiment has been designed to study coordination and cooperation in games played on local, random and small-world networks. For the coordination game, the results revealed a tendency for coordination on the payoff-dominant equilibrium in all three networks, but the frequency of payoff-dominant choices was significantly higher in small-world networks than in local and random networks. For the prisoner's dilemma game, cooperation was hard to reach on all three networks, with average cooperation lower in small-world networks than in random and local networks. Two graph-theoretic characteristics—clustering coefficient and characteristic path length—exhibited a significant effect on individual behavior, possibly explaining why the small-world network, with its high clustering coefficient and short path length, is the architecture of relations that drive a system towards equilibrium at the quickest pace.

All of them exemplify situations which are characterized by different degrees of conflicting interests between the individuals and the community. In groups of interacting individuals, cooperators produce a common good benefitting the entire group at some cost to themselves, whereas defectors attempt to exploit the resource by avoiding the costly contributions. Based on synergistic or discounted accumulation of cooperative benefits a unifying theoretical framework was recently introduced that encompasses all games that have traditionally been studied separately

Within this framework we investigate the effects of spatial structure with limited local interactions on the evolutionary fate of cooperators and defectors. The quantitative effects of space turn out to be quite sensitive to the underlying microscopic update mechanisms but, more general, we demonstrate that in prisoner’s dilemma type interactions spatial structure benefits cooperation—although the parameter range is quite limited—whereas in snowdrift type interactions spatial structure may be beneficial too, but often turns out to be detrimental to cooperation.

+**Abstract:** The prisoner’s dilemma (PD) deals with the behavior conflict between two agents, who can either cooperate
+(cooperators) or defect. If both agents cooperate (defect), they have a unitary (null) payoff. Otherwise the payoff is T for the defector and null for the cooperator. The temptation T to defect is the only free parameter in the model. Here the agents are represented by the cells of a LxL lattice. The agent behaviors are initially randomly distributed according to an initial proportion of cooperators Pc(0). Each agent has no memory of previous behaviors and plays the PD with his/her eight nearest neighbors. At each generation, the considered agent copies the behavior of those who have secured the highest payoff. Once the PD conflict has been established (1<T<2), this system shows that cooperation among agents may emerge even for reasonably high T values giving rise to the well-known strategy: join to conquer, fight to share. Contrary to previous studies, in which the lattice cells are viewed as groups and are allowed to self-interact (inter-group situation), here the cells are viewed as individuals and are not allowed to self-interact (intra-group situation). Although the short time and asymptotic behavior of Pc are similar in both cases, the intermediate behavior is different. Oscillations in the intra-group Pc(t) forbids data collapse. The cooperators clusters geometrical configurations are distinct between inter and intra-group models, which explains the Pc(t)
+differences.

-**Abstract:** The evolutionary origin of inter- and intra-specific cooperation among non-related individuals has been a great challenge for biologists for decades. Recently, the continuous prisoner’s dilemma game has been introduced to study this problem. In function of previous payoffs, individuals can change their cooperative investment iteratively in this model system. Killingback and Doebeli (Am. Nat. 160 (2002) 421–438) have shown analytically that intra-specific cooperation can emerge in this model system from originally non-cooperating individuals living in a non-structured population. However, it is also known froman earlier numerical work that inter-specific cooperation (mutualism) cannot evolve in a very similar model. The only difference here is that cooperation occurs among individuals of different species. Based on the model framework used by Killingback and Doebeli (2002), this Note proves analytically that mutualism indeed cannot emerge in this model system. Since numerical results have revealed that mutualism can evolve in this model system if individuals interact in a spatially structured manner, our work emphasizes indirectly the role of spatial structure of populations in the origin of mutualism.//

However, it is also known froman earlier numerical work that inter-specific cooperation (mutualism) cannot evolve in a very similar model. The only difference here is that cooperation occurs among individuals of different species. Based on the model framework used by Killingback and Doebeli (2002), this Note proves analytically that mutualism indeed cannot emerge in this model system. Since numerical results have revealed that mutualism can evolve in this model system if individuals interact in a spatially structured manner, our work emphasizes indirectly the role of spatial structure of populations in the origin of mutualism.

-**Abstract:** To investigate the genotype–phenotype link in a polyclonal cancer cell population, here we introduce evolutionary game theory into our previously developed agent-based brain tumor model. We model the heterogeneous cell population as a mixture of two distinct genotypes: the more proliferative Type A and the more migratory Type B. Our agent-based simulations reveal a phase transition in the tumor’s velocity of spatial expansion linking the tumor fitness to genotypic composition. Specifically, velocity initially falls as rising payoffs reward the interactions among the more stationary Type A cells, but unexpectedly accelerates again when these A–A payoffs increase even further. At this latter accelerating stage, fewer migratory Type B cells appear to confer a competitive advantage in terms of the tumor’s spatial aggression over the overall numerically dominating Type A cells, which in turn leads to an acceleration of the overall tumor dynamics while its surface roughness declines. We discuss potential implications of our findings for cancer research.
+**Abstract:** we consider the class of (finite) spatial games. We show that the problem of determining wether there
+is a Nash Equilibrium in which each player has a payoff of at leas k is NP-Complete as a function of the
+number of players. When each player has two strategies and the base game is an anti-coordination game, the

+more realistic models with semi-synchronous and stochastic updating do not show evolution of
+altruism. We do find some important and consistent differences between the spatial and mean-field

-**Abstract:** A laboratory experiment has been designed to study coordination and cooperation in games played on local, random and small-world networks. For the coordination game, the results revealed a tendency for coordination on the payoff-dominant equilibrium in all three networks, but the frequency of payoff-dominant choices was significantly higher in small-world networks than in local and random networks. For the prisoner's dilemma game, cooperation was hard to reach on all three networks, with average cooperation lower in small-world networks than in random and local networks. Two graph-theoretic characteristics—clustering coefficient and characteristic path length—exhibited a significant effect on individual behavior, possibly explaining why the small-world network, with its high clustering coefficient and short path length, is the architecture of relations that drive a system towards equilibrium at the quickest pace.

-**Abstract:** Social dilemmas and the evolutionary conundrum of cooperation are traditionally studied through various kinds of game theoretical models such as the prisoner’s dilemma, public goods games, snowdrift games or by-product mutualism. All of them exemplify situations which are characterized by different degrees of conflicting interests between the individuals and the community. In groups of interacting individuals, cooperators produce a common good benefitting the entire group at some cost to themselves, whereas defectors attempt to exploit the resource by avoiding the costly contributions. Based on synergistic or discounted accumulation of cooperative benefits a unifying theoretical framework was recently introduced that encompasses all games that have traditionally been studied separately

-(Hauert, Michor, Nowak, Doebeli, 2005. Synergy and discounting of cooperation in social dilemmas. J. Theor. Biol., in press.). Within this framework we investigate the effects of spatial structure with limited local interactions on the evolutionary fate of cooperators and defectors. The quantitative effects of space turn out to be quite sensitive to the underlying microscopic update mechanisms but, more general, we demonstrate that in prisoner’s dilemma type interactions spatial structure benefits cooperation—although the parameter range is quite limited—whereas in snowdrift type interactions spatial structure may be beneficial too, but often turns out to be detrimental to cooperation.

-**Abstract:** The prisoner’s dilemma (PD) deals with the behavior conflict between two agents, who can either cooperate
+**Abstract:** Using a spatial lattice model of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma we studied the evolution of
-(cooperators) or defect. If both agents cooperate (defect), they have a unitary (null) payoff. Otherwise the payoff is T for the defector and null for the cooperator. The temptation T to defect is the only free parameter in the model. Here the agents are represented by the cells of a LxL lattice. The agent behaviors are initially randomly distributed according to an initial proportion of cooperators Pc(0). Each agent has no memory of previous behaviors and plays the PD with his/her eight nearest neighbors. At each generation, the considered agent copies the behavior of those who have secured the highest payoff. Once the PD conflict has been established (1<T<2), this system shows that cooperation among agents may emerge even for reasonably high T values giving rise to the well-known strategy: join to conquer, fight to share. Contrary to previous studies, in which the lattice cells are viewed as groups and are allowed to self-interact (inter-group situation), here the cells are viewed as individuals and are not allowed to self-interact (intra-group situation). Although the short time and asymptotic behavior of Pc are similar in both cases, the intermediate behavior is different. Oscillations in the intra-group Pc(t) forbids data collapse. The cooperators clusters geometrical configurations are distinct between inter and intra-group models, which explains the Pc(t)
