Application of Evolutionary Game theory to Social Networks: A Survey

Evolutionary game theory has been expanded to many other areas than mere biological concept of evolution. Moreover, social networks determine definite interactions between individuals in social settings. The common nature of these two vast areas, has raised interest in applying evolutionary-game-theoretical approaches to social-networkbased problems. This survey paper attempts to explore and roughly categorize them in clear groups, although the vague boundaries between areas make it a difficult task.
