Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma: pure strategies

The spatial Prisoner's Dilemma supports cooperation within a certain parameter range. In that range cooperators can keep up with defectors by forming clusters and thus reducing interactions with (exploitation from) defectors. Even though the parameter range is rather limited, it still demonstrates that cooperation may persist simply because of spatial dimensions and without the need for sophisticated strategic behavior. Whereas in absence of spatial structures and limited local interactions cooperators would invariably go extinct. The parameters are set to and with individuals arranged on a square lattice with four neighbors and players imitating better strategies with a probability proportional to the payoff difference. The inital fraction of cooperators is 50%.

Module parameters

The list below describes only the few parameters related to the Prisoner's Dilemma, Snowdrift and Hawk-Dove games. Follow the link for a complete list and detailed descriptions of the user interface and further parameters such as spatial arrangements or update rules on the player and population level.

--paymatrix <a00,a01;a10,a11>
2x2 payoff matrix. Type \(A\) has index 0 and type \(B\) index 1.
--inittype <type>
type of initial configuration:
frequency <f0>,<f1>...
random distribution with given trait frequencies, f0, f1,.... Note, only available for frequency based modules and models.
density <d0>,<d1>...
initial trait densities <d1,...,dn>. Note, only available for density based modules and models.
uniform
uniform random distribution, equal frequencies of all traits.
monomorphic <t>[,<v>]
monomorphic initialization with trait t. Note, for modules with variable population densities, the optional parameter v indicates the initial frequency of vacant sites. If omitted the monomorphic trait is initialized at its (estimated) carrying capacity.
mutant <m>,<r>[,<v>]
single mutant with trait m in homogeneous resident population of type r. The mutant is placed in a location selected uniformly at random (mutants arising through cosmic rays). Note, for modules with variable population densities, the optional parameter v indicates the initial frequency of vacant sites. If omitted the resident trait is initialized at its (estimated) carrying capacity.
temperature <m>,<r>[,<v>]
single mutant with trait m in homogeneous resident population of type r. The mutant is placed in a location selected proportional to the in-degree of nodes (temperature initialization, mutants arising through errors in reproduction). Note, for modules with variable population densities, the optional parameter v indicates the initial frequency of vacant sites. If omitted the resident trait is initialized at its (estimated) carrying capacity.
stripes
stripes of traits. Note, only available for 2D lattices.
kaleidoscopes
configurations that produce evolutionary kaleidoscopes for deterministic updates (players and population). Note, only available for some modules.

Note, for modules that admit multiple species, the initialization types for each species can be specified as an array separated by ;. With more species than initialization types, they are assigned in a cyclical manner.
