A cooperative game model for the multimodality of coauthorship networks

This study provided a game model to simulate the evolution of coauthorship networks, which is a geometric hypergraph built on a circle. A fraction of nodes are randomly selected to attach an arc to express their reputation. The cooperation condition of a new node and existing nodes depends on their distance and the existing nodes’ reputation. The condition gives an expression of kin selection and network reciprocity, two typical mechanisms of...
