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.
