Abstract: In allusion to the on related research structuralismtendency of networks,and based on the understanding that the structure-relation duality is the inherence characteristic of informal relation,this paper studies the knowledge efficiency of small world networks under different probabilities of relation strength changing.The results show that,when the probability of relation strength change increases,the knowledge efficiency of small world networks can be enhanced apparently;especially,when the probability of relation strength change falls into a proper interval,the small world phenomenon of knowledge flowing appears.Further analysis shows the phenomenon is universal.

Key words: complex networks, knowledge flowing, small world, multi-agent simulation
