Abstract

This research investigates transitive dependence relations, an extension of direct dependence relations, in multi-agent systems. In this paper, action dependence relations are employed to deduct transitive dependence relations from direct dependence relations. Transitive dependence is useful in representation, analysis, and social relations reasoning between agents, groups, organizations, etc. Furthermore, in this paper, dependence relations are differentiated by both dependence property and dependence degree, which is useful in quantitative social reasoning.
