... However, the analytical framework based on traditional evolutionary game theory has the following limitations: Firstly, traditional evolutionary game theory usually assumes that individuals in clusters are connected in a uniformly mixed manner, but in reality, especially in international cooperation, the interactions between individuals often exhibit specific topological network characteristics, and these intricate network structures are, on the one hand, an embodiment of the complex relationships in international cooperation, and on the other hand, an important channel for green energy technology diffusion [37,38]. Secondly, the traditional evolutionary game theory pays more attention to the individual's interest maximization and its decision-making law, but pays less attention to the imitation and learning process among clusters [39,40]. From the literature review in Section 2.1, it can be seen that the solutions and paths based on the diffusion of green energy technological innovations are both the gaps in existing research and the focus of our analysis in this paper. ...
