Spillover modes in multiplex games: double-edged effects on cooperation and their coevolution

Abstract In recent years, there has been growing interest in studying games on multiplex networks that account for interactions across linked social contexts. However, little is known about how potential cross-context interference, or spillover, of individual behavioural strategy impact overall coop...
