Abstract

Considering the difference between the actual and expected payoffs, we bring a stochastic learning updating rule into an evolutionary Prisoners Dilemma game and the Snowdrift game on scale-free networks, and then investigate how the expectation level A and environmental noise κ influence cooperative behavior. Interestingly, numerical results show that the mechanism of promoting cooperation exhibits a resonance-like fashion including the coaction of A, κ and the payoff parameters. High cooperator frequency is induced by some optimal parameter regions. The variation of time series has also been investigated. This work could be of particular interest in the evolutionary game dynamics of biological and social systems.
