Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism to promote the evolution of cooperation in the spatial public goods games, in which any focal player will have a higher probability to imitate the more successful nearest neighbor. Large quantities of numerical simulations indicate that cooperation behavior will be largely changed. For a positive neighbor selection parameter (w > 0), it can be observed that the cooperation can be promoted; whereas w 0 will play a crucial role during the process of cooperation for spatial public goods games. Thus, the results strongly demonstrate that coveting the more successful neighbor will foster the evolution of cooperation. The present model will be conducive to illustrating the collective cooperation phenomenon widely existing among many biological systems and artificial social societies.
