Abstract
This paper investigates the conditions in which trust-based cooperation on packet forwarding is unlikely to be developed in mobile ad hoc networks. The analysis is performed by combining genetic algorithms and replicator equation dynamics. We demonstrate that in the presence of a large number of unconditionally cooperative nodes a selfish permanent defection forwarding strategy is more successful than a forgiving version of reciprocal tit-for-tat.
