Abstract:In order to understand the evolutionary mechanisms on social networks,we investigate the evolution of information sharing behavior on directed and dynamic social networks using social evolutionary games,in which agents aim to improve their short-term utility and long-term reputation by imitating the most successful strategy from their partners and adjusting their partnerships,respectively.The public goods game is used as a metaphor for the interactions of agents on social networks.The results of numerical simulations reveal the effects of the frequency of partner adjusting,reputation pursuit and group effects on the evolution of social networks.Finally,an application of social evolutionary games on SinaWeibo is conducted,which may help us understand the mechanism behind the evolution of social networks.
