| Abstract | Humans are inclined to engage in long-lasting relationships whose stability does not only rely on cooperation, but often also on loyalty — our tendency to keep interacting with the same partners even when better alternatives exist. Yet, what is the evolutionary mechanism behind such irrational behavior? Furthermore, under which conditions are individuals tempted to abandon their loyalty, and how does this affect the overall level of cooperation? Here, we study a model in which individuals interact along the edges of a dynamical graph, being able to adjust both their behavior and their social ties. Their willingness to sever interactions is determined by an individual characteristic and subject to evolution. We show that defectors ultimately loose any commitment to their social contacts, a result of their inability to establish any social tie under mutual agreement. Ironically, defectors' constant search for new partners to exploit leads to heterogeneous networks in which cooperation survives more easily. Cooperators, on the other hand, develop much more stable and long-term relationships. Their loyalty to their partners only decreases when the competition with defectors becomes fierce. These results indicate how our innate commitment to partners is related to mutual agreement among cooperators and how this commitment is evolutionary disadvantageous in times of conflict, both from an individual and a group perspective. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
