Abstract This paper investigated the evolution of cooperation in three typical social network topologies: regular lattice network, scale-free network and small-world network, using NetLogo simulation platform and ABM method to design simulation experiment. We also studied which network is more conducive to the occurrence of cooperation. By introducing factors such as network scale, initial cooperation probability, betrayal benefit, selection mode of neighbor node, interaction rules and so on, this paper measured how the above variables affect the occurrence and continuity of cooperation. Then we compared the different evolution results and discussed how to design effective incentive mechanism to maintain and to promote cooperation. Experimental results show that regular lattice network and small-world network have more commonality, while scale-free network is more conducive to the evolution of cooperation. In order to develop an effective incentive mechanism to promote the occurrence and continuity of cooperation, the design of incentive mechanism should take full account of the influence of social network structure of groups.
