title = "Simulation of an optional strategy in the prisoner{\textquoteright}s dilemma in spatial and non-spatial environments",
abstract = "This paper presents research comparing the effects of different environments on the outcome of an extended Prisoner{\textquoteright}s Dilemma, in which agents have the option to abstain from playing the game. We consider three different pure strategies: Cooperation, defection and abstinence. We adopt an evolutionary game theoretic approach and consider two different environments: the first which imposes no spatial constraints and the second in which agents are placed on a lattice grid. We analyse the performance of the three strategies as we vary the loner{\textquoteright}s payoff in both structured and unstructured environments. Furthermore we also present the results of simulations which identify scenarios in which cooperative clusters of agents emerge and persist in both environments.",
