| - | Often the selfish and strong are believed to be favored by natural selection, even though cooperative and fair interactions thrive at all levels of organization in living systems. This project tackles this paradox in the context of Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT), having kin-selection, direct and indirect reciprocity as conceptual starting points. Contrary to what is usual, models will also take into account the intricate ties of modern social networks and its topological evolution. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In spite of its relevance, understanding the evolution of cooperation remains one of the most fundamental challenges to date, tackled by scientists from fields as diverse as anthropology, biology, sociology, ecology, economics, psychology, political science, mathematics, physics, etc., who often adopt EGT as a common mathematical framework. Hence, students who choose this proposal should be strongly interested in interdisciplinary research. | ||
