Mechanism of User Participation in Co-creation Community: A Network Evolutionary Game Method

Algorithm 1

Network formulation of co-creation community.
Input: The initial number of nodes , the desired edges and the iteration number , the number of additive edges within the inner group at each time , the number of additive edges in external groups at each time , the probability that a new node connects the node in external groups, number of small groups , and size of each small group .
Initially: For , number of nodes within the inner group are connected as a complete graph. number of nodes which are, respectively, selected from different groups are connected as a complete graph.
For , do
Step 1: Formulate the network based on equations (11) and (12).
Step 2: If , go to step 1; otherwise, stop.
Output: .
