Asymptotical properties of social network dynamics on time scales

In this paper we develop conditions for various types of stability in social networks governed by Imitation of Success principle. Considering so-called Prisoner's Dilemma as the base of node-to-node game in the network we obtain well-known Hopfield neural network model. Asymptotic behavior of the original model and dynamic Hopfield model has a certain correspondence. To obtain more general results, we consider Hopfield model dynamic system on time scales. Developed stability conditions combine main parameters of network structure such as network size and maximum relative nodes' degree with the main characteristics of time scale, nodes' inertia and resistance, rate of input-output response.
