Cooperative aggregate production planning: a game theory approach

Production costs in general, and workforce and inventory costs in particular, constitute a large fraction of the operating costs of many manufacturing plants. We introduce cooperative aggregate production planning as a way to decrease these costs. That is, when production planning of two or more facilities (plants) is integrated, they can interchange workforce and products inventory; thus, thei...

1 Non - Cooperative Game Theory

This is the first draft of the entry “Game Theory” to appear in the Sage Handbook of the Philosophy of Social Science (edited by Ian Jarvie & Jesús Zamora Bonilla), Part III, Chapter 16.

Complexity in Cooperative Game Theory

We introduce cooperative games (N, v) with a description polynomial in n, where n is the number of players. In order to study the complexity of cooperative game problems, we assume that a cooperative game v : 2N → Q is given by an oracle returning v (S) for each query S ⊆ N. Finally, we consider several cooperative game problems and we give a list of complexity results.

Non-Cooperative Quantum Game Theory

The physical world obeys the rules of quantum, as opposed to classical, physics. Since the playing of any particular game requires physical resources, the question arises as to how Game Theory itself would change if it were extended into the quantum domain. Here we provide a general formalism for quantum games, and illustrate the explicit application of this new formalism to a quantized version...
