Figure 7. Triangle plots illustrating the population dynamics for defectors (Inline graphic), cooperators (Inline graphic) and loners (Inline graphic) for trajectories starting from all possible initial frequencies for the inverse-sigmoidal risk removal pattern.

Figure 7

Each vertex represents a homogeneous population of that pure strategy. Inline graphic For small interest rate Inline graphic, all orbits starting from the inside area of Inline graphic converge to Inline graphic. Inline graphic Moderate Inline graphic delimits the inside area into two attraction basins. The equilibrium Inline graphic, a coexistence state of cooperators and defectors, accounts a relatively large area as its attraction basin. The rest of the inside area is the loner's attraction basin. Inline graphic Further increase in Inline graphic makes the Inline graphic coincide with Inline graphic and its attraction area spreads almost the whole inside area.
