Sentence examples for clusters of cooperators from inspiring English sources

The question of the size of the network is very important, because the putative mechanism leading to the emergence of cooperation [10], [16] is the appearance of clusters of cooperators.

Tight clusters of cooperators emerge, and defectors elsewhere in the network are not able to undermine their altruism.

Now, according to the matrix 1, clusters of cooperators strongly increase their payoff, while clusters of defectors do not increase it in absence of cooperators.

Consequently, the few remaining clusters of cooperators start recovering lost ground against weakened defectors.

With these two ingredients, namely locality and imitation, it is generally observed [6], [11], [13] that states in which a sizeable part of the population cooperates emerge (at least for values of b not too close to 2), the mechanism for this emergence being the formation of clusters of cooperators that can successfully outcompete defectors.

The behavior of CC(k) in Fig. 6 can be understood by recalling that in scale-free networks, cooperators are not extinguished even for large values of b if they organize into clusters of cooperators that provide the group with a stable source of benefits [8].

The reverse (that demographic dynamics influence evolutionary dynamics) arises because demographic dynamics influence the spatial distribution of cooperators and defectors (which can be characterized by different shapes of clusters of cooperators).

If population viscosity was the sole driving force, then clusters of cooperators and clusters of competitively superior cheaters would be expected to have equivalent access to clusters of heterotypic cooperative partners.
