We investigate how the dynamics of a social network can change the cooperativeness of agents in the network. We focus on the fragility of social tie, i.e. the probability to break a link, in the Prisoner*s Dilemma. Individuals either update their strategies by imitating their neighbors or break their social ties and establish new relationships. The pairwise comparison rule [1] is employed for the strategy evolution. For the linking dynamics, a random link is selected and it breaks with a probability that depends on the relationship type. Subsequently, a new link to a random neighbor is established. In contrast to earlier work [2], the total number of links is constant. The model can be solved analytically under time scale separation. This leads to a simple rule for the evolution of cooperation, that is, the more fragile CD links are (or the less fragile CC ones are), the more likely cooperation prevails [3]. Our work may shed light on the ubiquitous cooperation in the real world where social networks are dynamic.
