Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the effect of conformist on the evolution of cooperation in multigame. In particular, we divide the whole population into two groups. One side is payoff-driven player, who updates his strategy by learning. The other side is conformist-driven player, who adopts the most popular strategy. Simulation results show that there is an optimal value of fraction for conformist-driven players, where cooperation can be best promoted when b is small. However, cooperation will be impeded with the fraction of conformist-driven players when b is relatively large. For these results, we give some explanations from the perspective of clusters and strategy transition, and investigate the robustness of this mechanism on different topologies.
