This paper extends traditional two-player prisoners' dilemma (PD) to three-player PD. We have studied spatial patterns of cooperation behaviors, growth patterns of cooperator clusters and defector clusters, and cooperation frequency of the players. It is found while three-player PD exhibits many properties similar to two-player PD, some new features arise. Specifically, (i) a new region appears, in which neither a 3x3 cooperator cluster nor a 3x3 defector cluster could grow; (ii) more growth patterns of cooperator clusters and defector clusters are identified; (iii) multiple cooperation frequencies exist in the region that exhibits dynamic chaos. Some theoretical analysis of these features is presented.

Researchers have explored the performance of Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma strategies for decades, from the celebrated performance of Tit for Tat to the introduction of the zero-determinant strategies and the use of sophisticated learning structures such as neural networks. Many new strategies have been introduced and tested in a variety of tournaments and population dynamics. Typical results in the literature, however, rely on performance against a small number of somewhat arbitrarily selected strategies, casting doubt on the generalizability of conclusions.

How do group size changes influence cooperation within groups? To examine this question, we performed a dynamic, network-based prisoner's dilemma experiment with fMRI. Across 83 human participants, we observed increased cooperation as group size increased. However, our computational modeling analysis of behavior and fMRI revealed that groups size itself did not increase cooperation.

Humans navigate diverse social relationships and concurrently interact across multiple social contexts. An individual's behavior in one context can influence behavior in other contexts. Different payoffs associated with interactions in the different domains have motivated recent studies of the evolution of cooperation through the analysis of multichannel games where each individual is simultaneously engaged in multiple repeated games.

A tragedy of the commons, in which rational behavior of individuals to maximize their own payoffs depletes common resources, is one of the most important research topics in game theory. To better understand the social dilemma problem, recent studies have developed a theoretical framework of feedback-evolving game where individual behavior affects an environmental (renewable) resource and the environmental resource changes individual payoffs. While previous studies assumed that the frequency of defectors increases (prisoner's dilemma [PD] game) when the environmental resource is abundant to investigate an oscillating tragedy of the commons, it is also possible for other types of game to produce the social dilemma.

Spatial games provide a simple and elegant mathematical model to study the evolution of cooperation in networks. In spatial games, individuals reside in vertices, adopt simple strategies, and interact with neighbors to receive a payoff. Depending on their own and neighbors' payoffs, individuals can change their strategy.
