Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of resource interaction between interdependent networks on public cooperation. The resource interaction is staged between the upper and bottom two-layer network and reallocates payoffs depending on the gap between the bottom network average payoff and players’ payoff. It is shown that such a redistribution mechanism effective the cooperation level on the upper network presents a non-monotonic influence, while the network reciprocity fails on the bottom network with the increment of resource interaction strength parameter α. By examining the behavior of sponsors and recipients within cooperators and defectors, the equilibrium state can be attributed to the evolution of correlated cooperator pairs between interdependent networks. Our results provided a theoretical analysis of the group cooperation induced by the resource interaction factors.
