“…[14][15][16] Based on previous work, Nowak [17,18] summarized five mechanisms to promote cooperation: kin selection, [19,20] direct reciprocity, [21][22][23] indirect reciprocity, [24,25] group selection [26,27] and network reciprocity. [28] In past studies, reputation, [29][30][31][32][33] alliance, [34,35] punishments, [36][37][38][39][40][41][42] rewards [43][44][45] and other mechanisms have been proposed to solve this problem.…”

This paper studies the evolutionary process of cooperative behavior in the public goods game models with heterogeneous investment strategies in square lattices. In the proposed model, players are divided into defectors, cooperators, and discreet investors. Among them, defectors do not participate in investing, discreet investors make heterogeneous investments based on the investment behavior and cooperation value of their neighbors, and cooperators invest equally in each neighbor. In real life, heterogeneous investment is often accompanied by time or economic costs. The discreet investors in this paper pay a certain price to obtain their neighbors' investment behavior and cooperation value, which quantifies the time and economic costs of the heterogeneous investment process. The Monte Carlo simulation experimental results in this study show that discreet investors can effectively resist the invasion of the defectors, form a stable cooperative group, and expand the cooperative advantage in evolution. However, when discreet investors pay too high a price, they lose their strategic advantage. This paper's results help us understand the role of heterogeneous investment in promoting and maintaining human social cooperation.

“…The most well-known and most intensively studied multiplayer game is the public goods game (PGG) which extends PD from pairwise interactions to group interactions [18,19,20]. Similarly, additional factors have also been considered in multiplayer games to promote cooperation, such as reputation [21,22,23,24,25,26,27], punishment [28,29,30,31,32,33,34], exclusion [35,36,37], discounting and synergy [25,38], fluctuating population size [39], interdependence of different strategies [40,41], emerging alliance [42,43], environmental feedback [44,45], and reinvestment [46]. The possibility of real-world experiments [47] and applications to real scenarios was also an inspiring force along this research path.…”

“…Remarkably, for the majority of the initial population conditions such as f I ≥ 0.2 and f T ≥ 0.2 satisfied, an optimal social state with no untrustworthy agents can be reached, yielding the maximum global wealth. Thus, with the incorporation of the investment diversity mechanism, investors and trustworthy trustees can build a strong alliance, thereby promoting the level of trust and trustworthiness [44].…”

Most previous works study the evolution of trust by commonly assuming that investors adopt deterministic investment strategy. In this work, we propose a mechanism of diverse investment in the trust game model on social networks, where each investor adopts a probabilistic strategy by considering the trustworthiness level in the local group to decide whether to invest or not. Extensive simulation results suggest that the proposed mechanism inhibits the untrustworthy behavior and limits its spread, thus stabilizing the cooperative cluster of investors and trustworthy trustees. Therefore, the trust level and global wealth are greatly enhanced comparing to the traditional setup with homogeneous investment pattern. The strong investment diversity can even eliminate untrustworthiness completely despite the fact that the severe temptation condition is disadvantageous to the evolution of trust. We also investigate the impact of investment diversity on trust game model embedding in different network structures with different initial conditions, where we observe similarly positive evolutionary outcomes. We hope these observations can provide valuable insights into further exploring the improvement of trust in real life.
