Abstract :
The game model of Prisoner¿s Dilemma is applied to describe the survival game between altruistic behaviors and selfish behaviors. The game model is extended to an evolutionary game. The survival conditions for altruistic behaviors are obtained. Simulation results show that altruists tend to cluster so as to improve their survival probability. The conclusions are useful to the stability study of social structure and design of social mechanism.
