Multi-agent model of knowledge diffusion in network space

The process of knowledge diffusion is influenced by learning capacity of knowledge receptors, reputation of knowledge disseminator, conditions of communication between members, etc. This process can be simulated in multi-agent model by transforming these factors that influence knowledge diffusion into controllable variables based on general hypothesis of knowledge diffusion. And based on an simple multi-agent model, this article analyses how density of agents, knowledge diffusion range of a single agent and different distributing of agents at the same density influence the process of knowledge diffusion and the sensitive dependence that knowledge diffusion is on density of agents and knowledge diffusion range of a single agent.
