this paper shows how game theory can be applied to modeling the interaction between government and manufacturer in implementation of cleaner production. a generic game model based upon ‘two-person non-cooperative’ static game is created to allow various strategic actions being tested by stages, and aid decision making by selecting optimal strategy for both manufacturer and policy maker to reduc...

This note investigates the noncooperative foundations of von Neumann-Morgenstern (vN-M) stable sets in voting games. To do so, we study subgame perfect equilibria of a noncooperative legislative bargaining game, based on underlying simple games. The following results emerge from such an exercise: Every stable set of the underlying simple game is the limit set of undominated pure-strategy Markov...

This paper deals with the approximation of Nash-equilibria in m-player games. We present conditions under which an approximating sequence of games admits near-equilibria that approximate near equilibria in the limit game. We apply the results to two classes of games: (i) a duopoly game approximated by a sequence of matrix games; (ii) a stochastic game played under the S-adapted information stru...

Original Document: Selfish Caching in Distributed Systems: A Game-Theoretic Analysis [6], from B. Chun, K. Chaudhuri, H. Wee, M. Barreno, C. Papadimitriou and J. Kubiatowicz The authors analyze the caching problem in P2P systems when the peers behave selfishly, trying to maximize their own gain. They model the problem using a game-theoretic approach, and show that the game reaches a Nash Equili...

The in-depth description of game playing experience needs a suitable terminology which, in turn, shall reflect appropriate concepts. The introduced story space concept is compliant with a variety of recent research endeavors and allows for a lucid representation of phenomena which are crucial to the understanding of ways in which stories may be perceived when playing a digital game. The particu...

We introduce a generalization of the standard framework for studying the difficulty of two-prover games. Specifically, we study the model where Alice and Bob are allowed to communicate (with information constraints) – in contrast to the usual two-prover game where they are not allowed to communicate after receiving their respective input. We study the trade-off between the information cost of t...

PURPOSE To investigate the influence of prior knowledge of exercise duration on the pacing strategies employed during game-based activities. METHODS Twelve semiprofessional team-sport athletes (mean ± SD age 22.8 ± 2.1 y) participated in this study. Players performed 3 small-sided games in random order. In one condition (Control), players were informed that they would play the small-sided gam...

In this paper we study a classical model concerning occurrence of words in a random sequence of letters from an alphabet. The problem can be studied as a game among (m + 1) words: the winning word in this game is the one that occurs first. We prove that the knowledge of the first m words results in an advantage in the construction of the last word, as it has been shown in the literature for the...

BACKGROUND Little is known about educational games in Plastic Surgery training. Pecha kucha game has proved to be helpful tool to improve communicative skills. This study survey in resident participants in Pecha Kucha contest assessed how to improve speaking skills in plastic surgery training. METHODS In the second edition of Pecha Kucha contest of the Mexican Society of Plastic Surgery, a s...
