Figure 5. Criteria for evolutionary success on the star graph for accumulated (left column) and averaged (right column) payoffs for weak selection, Inline graphic.

Figure 5

The range for which Inline graphic is advantageous (top row, c.f. Eq. (15)) depends on the population size, Inline graphic, and is shown in the limit Inline graphic (solid line) and for Inline graphic (dashed line). Below the respective lines Inline graphic is favoured. Similarly, the range for which Inline graphic and Inline graphic mutants are beneficial (c.f. Eq. (16) also depends on Inline graphic. Inline graphic mutants are beneficial above the red lines, while Inline graphic mutants are beneficial below the blue lines (solid for Inline graphic; dashed for Inline graphic). Additive games (or equal-gains-from-switching) satisfy Inline graphic (dotted line).
