Popis: In this paper, we investigate the effect of conformist on the evolution of cooperation in multigame. In particular, we divide the whole population into two groups. One side is payoff-driven player, who updates his strategy by learning. The other side is conformist-driven player, who adopts the most popular strategy. Simulation results show that there is an optimal value of fraction for conformist-driven players, where cooperation can be best promoted when b is small. However, cooperation will be impeded with the fraction of conformist-driven players when b is relatively large. For these results, we give some explanations from the perspective of clusters and strategy transition, and investigate the robustness of this mechanism on different topologies.
