The Impact of Multidrive on the Cooperation in N-person Snowdrift Game

Abstract

This paper focuses on the N-person Snowdrift Game with double thresholds in the well-mixed population. By means of modeling and numerical simulation, we found that the double thresholds have important influence on the evolution of cooperative behavior, and polarize cooperative behavior in the end. There is a transformation point of the gap between the double thresholds. When the gap is lower than the transformation point, there is only one stable solution. As the gap raising, another stable solution with low cooperation level will appear. Furthermore, with the increasing of the gap, the transfer rate of defector to cooperator decreases. These results have theoretical guidance for the project management of modern enterprises.
