Two Person Zero-Sum Game with Two Sets of Strategic Variables

A Two-person Zero-sum Game with Fractional Loss Function

In this paper, we investigate a two-person zero-sum game with fractional loss function, which we call the two-person zero-sum fractional game. We are interested in a game value and a saddle point of the two-person zero-sum game and observe that they exist under various conditions. But, in many cases, it seems to be difficult to search directly for a game value and a saddle point of the fraction...

Distribution Design of Two Rival Decenteralized Supply Chains: a Two-person Nonzero Sum Game Theory Approach

We consider competition between two decentralized supply chains network under demand uncertainty. Each chain consists of one risk-averse manufacturer and a group of risk-averse retailers. These two chains present substitutable products to the geographical dispensed markets. The markets’ demands are contingent upon prices, service levels, and advertising efforts of two supply chains. We formulat...

Linear Programming Notes IX: Two-Person Zero-Sum Game Theory

Economists use the word rational in a narrow way. To an economist, a rational actor is someone who makes decisions that maximize her (or his) preferences subject to constraints imposed by the environment. So, this actor knows her preferences and knows how to go about optimizing. It is a powerful approach, but it probably is only distantly related to what you mean when you think of yourself as r...
