Abstract

We study the impact of heterogeneous aspirations on the spatial public goods game (PGG) in a square lattice. An aspiration parameteruis introduced to decide who will be more probably to become the potential strategy source in structured population. Individuals are divided into two groupsA(u > 0)andB(u = 0)by fractionvand1 - v. We study howuandvaffect cooperation in the PGG. For low values ofu, the cooperation level monotonously increases asvincreases. However, for large values ofu, there exist an intermediatev ≈ 0.5for which cooperation thrives best. The influence of noise is also investigated. We find that the highest threshold of phase transition is reached at the middle value of noise.
