Abstract
Numerous studies have examined how cooperation emerges in complex networks. It is necessary to take into account simultaneously the emergent characteristics of the network structure itself through interactions among agents and the emergent network dynamics: these points are inseparable in the real world. Furthermore, it is important to consider the information distribution among the elements because elements in the real world have structural restrictions and act under incomplete information. This paper introduces information distribution to a spatial prisoner's dilemma. We examine the emergence of cooperation through interactions among agents. Results show that a robust form of cooperation emerges when information distribution is considered.
