Abstract: The paper modeled an evolution of cooperation in changing environment. A cooperation model of the evolving population was used. In this model, the individuals base the decisions to donate their resources solely on the similarity of evolved “tags” which are relative to evolved tag-difference tolerances. Two options of the cooperation model were analyzed with constant and random alterations of receiver’s and donor’s resources that change as a result of an interaction between the individuals. In both options of the cooperation model, the average of resources and the average cooperation rate follow the environmental changes, but in different ways. A comparison of the two models makes it evident that a common period of an adaptation for the changing environment is significantly greater for a cooperation model with constant alterations of the donor’s and the receiver’s resources than for a cooperation model with random alterations of them. Quantitative evaluation of the models to assess the influence of an environment on an evolution of cooperation is also provided.
