Fig. 7: The relationship between average group performance and network density when agents only collaborate (left) or only copy (right).
From: Copy or collaborate? How networks impact collective problem solving
The density of the network is the number of edges in the network divided by the number of edges there would be in a fully connected network with the same set of nodes. Network density was increased by starting with a linear network and adding edges at random. Error bars are the standard errors of the mean across one thousand simulation runs. Parameters: group size n = 16, s = 100 skill types, and skill radius r = 6. Simulations terminate after a single time step in which no agent moves.
