ABSTRACT
Evolution of cooperation among self-interested agents is revisited in this paper in the context of ``globalization'' and ``localization'' and the effects of entrenchment. Entrenchment is found to be of two types -- of knowledge and of acquaintance. While entrenched acquaintances are conducive for trust and hence cooperation, entrenched knowledge leads to paucity in novel strategies. Simulation based studies show that disentrenchment in general, and disentrenchment of knowledge in particular, is conducive to the emergence of cooperation.

Refined Epistemic Entrenchment
Epistemic entrenchment, as presented by Gärdenfors and Makinson (1988) and Gärdenfors (1988), is a formalisation of the intuition that, when forced to choose between two beliefs, an agent will give up the less entrenched one. While their formalisation ...

Evolution of cooperation in malicious social networks with differential privacy mechanisms
AbstractCooperation is an essential behavior in multi-agent systems. Existing mechanisms have two common drawbacks. The first drawback is that malicious agents are not taken into account. Due to the diverse roles in the evolution of cooperation, malicious ...
