Interaction between populations promotes cooperation in voluntary prisoner's dilemma

作者:

Highlights:

• A fascinating spiral pattern is spontaneously formed, adding a new population always brings additional prey to cooperators in other populations, leading to competing spatial dynamics and pattern formation.

• The inherent cyclic dominance of the strategies results in the self-organization of populations on the square lattice and ultimately effectively promotes cooperation.

• The cooperation facilitation mechanism depends on the spontaneous emergence of the dynamically accelerating invasion processes. Through these processes, unlike defectors, significant evolutionary advantages are created for cooperators.
