From: Cooperators Unite! Assortative linking promotes cooperation particularly for medium sized associations

"Win-stay - loose-relink wisely". Fixation probability of cooperators as a function of probability of preferential linking in the PAVLOV scenario. In the PAVLOV scenario, defectors are allowed to seek new partners like cooperators, but preferential relinking still promotes cooperation. In the case of random relinking rule however cooperation is unfavoured. Squares k = 4; circles k = 8. Filled symbols b = k, open symbols b = 2 k . c = 1, ω 1 = 0.05 and w = 0.01 in all cases. The stand alone points represent the case when there is no network dynamics, i.e. ω 1 = ω 2 = 0.0. Dotted horizontal line represents the line above which cooperators fixate with higher than random probability.
