Regular-and-Non-regular-Biological-Networks

Computer Simulation and Modeling: Research on evolution in regular networks as opposed to non-regular networks

File Structure

Regular Networks

garcia_punish = Regular network with Punishers
garcia_testing = Regular network without Punishers

Non-regular Networks

coop_with_pun = Non-regular network with Punishers
coop_without_pun = Non-regular network without Punishers

Additional Functionalities

Comment the plotter() function after the line "if Same == True #case for everyone having the same strategy" (you can Ctrl + F or Cmd + F this as they may appear at different lines of code for the four models) and the lines of code right under 'label = {}' up until 'plt.show()' in the Graph() function in order to avoid watching the generational evolution in the biological network.

To view graph, first install networkx.

pip install networkx
