summaryOptional Public Good Game can be a useful model of many human social dilemmas, as can be found in the use of public services in general, or  environmental related or society related activities. In this talk I will present a thorough analysis, by means of simulation, of the conditions for the emergence of spontaneous cooperation, being as coexistence in steady equilibrium states or as alternate dominance of each strategies in a paper-rock-scissors (R-P-S) fashion. Such analysis states clearly each of the possible scenarios in terms of the multiplication factor of the public good, which is the key parameter, and the group size. Other factors as the role of topology and memory  in the appearance of R-P-S cycles will be addressed.
