Multi-leader-follower Games: Models, Methods and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multi-leader-follower game serves as an important model in game theory with many applications in economics, operations research and other fields. In this survey paper, we first recall some background materials in game theory and optimization. In particular, we present several extensions of Nash equilibrium problems including the multi-leader-follower game. We then give some applications as well as solution methods of multi-leader-follower games.

Variational Inequality Formulation of a Class of Multi-Leader-Follower Games
The multi-leader-follower game can be looked on as a generalization of the Nash equilibrium problem and the Stackelberg game, which contains several leaders and a number of followers. Recently, the multi-leader-follower game has been drawing more and more attention, for example, in electricity power markets. However, when we formulate a general multi-leader-follower game as a single-level game,...
متن کاملGlobal Equilibria of Multi-leader Multi-follower Games with Shared Constraints
Multi-leader multi-follower games are a class of hierarchical games in which a collection of leaders compete in a Nash game constrained by the equilibrium conditions of another Nash game amongst the followers. Much of the extant research on this topic is either model specific or relies on weaker notions of equilibria. We observe that when this original game is modified to ensure that the leader...
متن کاملOptimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear multi-agent systems: Known and unknown dynamics
In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...
متن کاملQuasi-variational inequalities, generalized Nash equilibria, and multi-leader-follower games
The noncooperative multi-leader-follower game can be formulated as a generalized Nash equilibrium problem where each player solves a nonconvex mathematical program with equilibrium constraints. Two major deficiencies exist with such a formulation: One is that the resulting Nash equilibrium may not exist, due to the nonconvexity in each player’s problem; the other is that such a nonconvex Nash g...
متن کاملA Shared-Constraint Approach to Multi-leader Multi-follower Games
Multi-leader multi-follower games are a class of hierarchical games in which a collection of leaders compete in a Nash game constrained by the equilibrium conditions of another Nash game amongst the followers. The resulting equilibrium problem with equilibrium constraints is complicated by nonconvex agent problems and therefore providing tractable conditions for existence of global or even loca...
