Agents want to add links only if it's not too expensive considering the benefit.
Let's consider strong efficiency depending on delta and cost value, we will observe the following:
𝙘 < 𝛅-𝛅², cost to form a link is very low so the complete network is efficient
𝛅-𝛅²<𝙘<𝛅+(n-2)*𝛅²/2, the cost is medium and the star network is efficient
𝛅+(n-2)*𝛅²/2<𝙘, the cost is high so the empty network is efficient
Try to reduce the benefit and increase the cost: agents will stand on their own.
Increasing the benefit and gradually reducing the cost, agents are pushed to get connected.
