. Special attention is given to the recent interest in knowledge diffusion models. …

The process for absorbing knowledge becomes an essential element for innovation in firms and in adapting to changes in … the competitive environment. In this paper, we present an improved knowledge diffusion hypernetwork (IKDH) model based on … the idea that knowledge will spread from the target node to all its neighbors in terms of the hyperedge and knowledge …

In this paper, we introduce a model to describe knowledge accumulation through knowledge diffusion and knowledge … upgrade in a multi-agent network. Here, knowledge diffusion refers to the distribution of existing knowledge in the network …, while knowledge upgrade means the discovery of new knowledge. It is found that the population of the network and the number …

As knowledge constitutes a primary productive force, it is important to understand the performance of knowledge … diffusion. In this paper, we present a knowledge diffusion model based on the local-world non-uniform hypernetwork, which … introduces the preferential diffusion mechanism and the knowledge absorptive capability αj, where αj is correlated with the …

We study numerically the knowledge innovation and diffusion process on four representative network models, such as … regular networks, small-world networks, random networks and scale-free networks. The average knowledge stock level as a … is minimal indicating the fastest growth and diffusion of knowledge. The calculated variance and spatial distribution of …
