An Improved Reciprocal Incentive Policy Based on Complex Network

The introduction of incentive mechanism in complex network system is mainly to promote the mutual service between peers. But in reality, some incentive policies do not work well. One of the important reasons is that the current incentive policies generally encourage cooperators, thus indirectly encouraging defectors. This paper proposes an improved Reciprocal Incentive Policy. According to the different proportion of reciprocators in the system, different strategies are adopted for defectors. The experiment and analysis show that our improved Reciprocal Incentive Policy can effectively enhance the service between peers and ensure the robustness of the network system.
