Evolutionary Game Theory MATLAB Toolbox

The Evolutionary Game Theory MATLAB Toolbox is a powerful software package designed for conducting evolutionary game simulations across diverse complex networks. This toolbox allows users to implement and analyze various evolutionary game models - including Prisoner's Dilemma, Snowdrift Game, and Cooperative Games - through modular functions that handle network generation using algorithms like Watts-Strogatz or Barabási-Albert models, strategy evolution through update rules (e.g., Fermi rule or imitation dynamics), and payoff computation. The toolbox incorporates comprehensive data visualization capabilities through MATLAB's plotting functions, enabling clear interpretation of evolutionary patterns and game dynamics through time-series plots, network graphs, and strategy distribution charts. With its user-friendly interface and robust functionality featuring configurable parameters for population size, network topology, and evolutionary rules, this toolbox serves as an ideal solution for evolutionary game research, combining ease of use with advanced analytical capabilities to meet diverse research requirements.
