Abstract:Cooperation is widely existent in nature and human society.Understanding the emergence and persistence of cooperation among selfish individuals remains a fascinating challenge for researchers in different fields.So far,evolutionary game theory has provided a powerful framework to address cooperation.Spurred by the rapid development of complex network theory,the evolutionary games on complex networks have received much attention in the past few years.Here,previous investigations on the research of evolutionary games on complex networks were reviewed and the further research was looked forward.
