This PhD research project is to study evolutionary games in complex networks. In particular, efforts are made to investigate why and how individuals cooperate with others. Complex network models are used to describe the structures of populations in order to reveal mechanisms that lead to the emergence and maintenance of cooperation in populations. It is also of interest to know how different strategies spread in complex networks and how they influence each other. Theoretical yet realistic models are expected to be constructed to explain the evolutionary dynamics in complex networks.
