Environment-based preference selection in spatial multigame with limited resource allocation and control

In reality, environment has the considerable effect on the decision making of individuals. Meanwhile, individuals with different amount of resources could have distinct responses to environmental impacts. In this article, based on spatial multigame model, the mutual effect of environment and resources allocation on cooperation is studied. Firstly, the fit-ness of individuals in multigame is redefined by using environmental factor and limited resources are introduced into the model coevolving with individual strategy. Secondly, the relationship between resource quantity and strategy selection is studied, where the influ-ence of the environmental factor and resources on cooperative behaviors has been dis-cussed in detail. Thirdly, the evolutionary dynamics of cooperation clusters are discussed such that the characteristics of resource allocation in multigame model are further ana-lyzed. Finally, in order to deeply reveal the impact of resources on the evolution behaviors of the multigame system, position-based pinning control mechanism is involved to control the speed of resource change and the corresponding evolutionary processes are discussed.

Automated summary

This article studies the mutual effect of environment and resources allocation on cooperation using a spatial multigame model. It redefines the fitness of individuals in the multigame by incorporating environmental factors and limited resources. The relationship between resource quantity and strategy selection is analyzed, along with the evolutionary dynamics of cooperation clusters and the impact of resources on the multigame system's evolution behaviors.
