How memory cost, switching cost, and payoff non-linearity affect the evolution of persistence

作者：

Highlights：

• Persistence imitates its own behavior and promotes the evolution of cooperation.

• We reexamine the evolution of persistence by using a model covering broad situations.

• When memory cost is present, persistence can disturb the evolution of cooperation.

• When switching cost is present, the benefit of persistence is strengthened.

• We investigate the effect of payoff non-linearity on the evolution of persistence.
