Asymmetric strategy setup solve the Prisoner’s Dilemma of the evolution of mutualism

作者:

Highlights:

• An asymmetric game model with the so-called carrot-stick strategy is established.

• Asymmetric strategy setup can lower the dilemma of cooperation: the dominant players and recipient players might coexist through cycle dynamics.

• Three basic evolutionary dynamics of systems: dominance; bistability; and coexistence, can be observed as each case is closely related with the cost-to-benefit, punishment-to-benefit, and reward-to-benefit.
