N2 - The spread of cooperation in the evolutionary dynamics of social dilemma games such as Prisoner's Dilemma can be facilitated by various means such as topological heterogeneities, a high benefit-to-cost ratio, or asymmetric interactions. In evolutionary dynamics, the agents adopt the strategies of neighbors with higher payoffs with a probability proportional to the payoff difference. In this study, we analyze evolutionary dynamics of mixed strategies in the Prisoner's Dilemma game through the expected value of the payoff difference for arbitrary neighbors and the evolutionary advantage/disadvantage of nodes due to the degree distributions within their neighborhoods. Simulation results for various networks and game parameters are also presented.
