主要内容：

Cooperation is widespread in complex systems, ranging from microbial communities to human societies. Cooperation, however, contradicts the evolutionary theory. Evolutionary game theory is the appropriate mathematical model to study cooperation. Based on weak selection, fruitful analytical insights are given: for example cooperators are favoured if few neighbours are present. Recent human behaviour experiment, however, suggests that the selection is non-weak. This leads to a gap between current theory and experiments. We are filling this gap by addressing the robustness of the popular models. Our study not only fosters the understanding of the current models, but also provides analytical insights to experimental design.
