This paper studies the evolution of cooperation in the Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD) and the Snowdrift (SD) game on a square lattice. Each player interacting with their neighbors can adopt mixed strategies describing an individual’s propensity to cooperate. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is introduced...
