A simple rule for the evolution of cooperation on graphs and social networks
Article Abstract:
A fundamental aspect of all biological systems is cooperation and cooperation interactions are required for many levels of biological organization ranging from single cells to groups of animals. Human society is based to a large extent on mechanisms that promote cooperation and it is well known that in unstructured populations, natural selection favours defectors over cooperators.

Spatial structure often inhibits the evolution of cooperation in the snowdrift game
Article Abstract:
The two simple games theoretical and practical well explains the evolutionary theory. The effect of spatial structure on cooperation is demonstrated by the snowdrift game.
