N2 - This paper studies a recently proposed continuous-time distributed self-appraisal model with time-varying interactions among a network of n individuals which are characterized by a sequence of time-varying relative interaction matrices. The model describes the evolution of the social-confidence levels of the individuals via a reflected appraisal mechanism in real time. We show that when the relative interaction matrices are doubly stochastic, the n individuals' self-confidence levels will all converge to 1/n, which indicates a democratic state, exponentially fast under appropriate assumptions, and provide an explicit expression for the convergence rate. Numerical examples are provided to verify the theoretical results and to show that when the relative interaction matrices are stochastic (not doubly stochastic), the social-confidence levels of the individuals may not converge to a steady state.
