Asynchronous activation in spatial evolutionary games

Situations where honest people interact with dishonest people are ubiquitous. Problems emerge spontaneously and leaders must face the situations accordingly. In any civilized society honest people respect the laws while dishonest people do not. Decision makers need to take proper measures in order to avoid emergence of social problems as a consequence of dishonest behavior. Studies proved that in order to discourage social dishonest behavior, punishment probability is more important than punishment severity. Honest/dishonest dynamics are analyzed within the Social Honesty game. Transition intervals for punishment probability are indentified and analyzed. The following paper illustrates how the punishment probability influences the outcome of interactions between players, using asynchronous models of activation.
