Study of prisoner’s dilemma game on dynamic networks: Effects of minimum requirements and immigration

Abstract

We apply a death process based on minimum requirements to prisoner’s dilemma game in complex networks. The death process changes the population of the networks and induces a highly cooperative society. We also immigrate immigrants in a highly cooperative society. We show that the ratio of cooperative immigrants among all immigrants, the population of the society, and the immigration interval have an effect on the population change of the society. In addition, a preferential attachment of immigrants influences the population.
