Query: Cooperation dynamics of generalized reciprocity on complex networks   Recent studies suggest that the emergence of cooperative behavior can be
explained by generalized reciprocity, a behavioral mechanism based on the
principle of "help anyone if helped by someone". In complex systems, the
cooperative dynamics is largely determined by the network structure which
dictates the interactions among neighboring individuals. Despite an abundance
of studies, the role of the network structure in in promoting cooperation
through generalized reciprocity remains an under-explored phenomenon. In this
doctoral thesis, we utilize basic tools from the dynamical systems theory, and
develop a unifying framework for investigating the cooperation dynamics of
generalized reciprocity on complex networks. We use this framework to present a
theoretical overview on the role of generalized reciprocity in promoting
cooperation in three distinct interaction structures: i) social dilemmas, ii)
multidimensional networks, and iii) fluctuating environments. The results
suggest that cooperation through generalized reciprocity always emerges as the
unique attractor in which the overall level of cooperation is maximized, while
simultaneously exploitation of the participating individuals is prevented. The
effect of the network structure is captured by a local centrality measure which
uniquely quantifies the propensity of the network structure to cooperation, by
dictating the degree of cooperation displayed both at microscopic and
macroscopic level. As a consequence, the implementation of our results may go
beyond explaining the evolution of cooperation. In particular, they can be
directly applied in domains that deal with the development of artificial
systems able to adequately mimic reality, such as reinforcement learning.
