in this paper, a novel hybrid model based on neural network and game theory is proposed to support the analyzers in oil market. in this model, first the neural network is utilized to learn the oil prices associated with opec production level and usa imports level. then the learned neural network is applied by a game model. finally the nash equilibrium points of the game present the optimum deci...

Suppose that you are competing in a two-player game in which you and your opponent attempt to pack as many “prisoners” as possible on the squares of an n×n checkerboard; each prisoner has to be “protected” by an appropriate number of guards. Initially, the board is covered entirely with guards. The players – designated as “red” and “blue” – take turns adjusting the board configuration using one...

Computer games are the result of the convergence of art and technology. In this paper, we explore the possibility using computer games as a medium for promoting Asian culture and art, and therefore asserting that it should be considered as an art form itself. To establish why computer games can be considered art, we take into account the major theories of art based on historical, institutional,...

in this paper, we use game theory to describe the emergence of self-organization and consequent pattern formation through communicative cooperation in bacillus subtilis colonies. the emergence of cooperative regime is modelled as an n-player assurance game, with the bacterial colonies as individual players. the game is played iteratively through cooperative communication, and mediated by exchan...

AIMS The aim of this study was to determine glycaemic index (GI) of 10 popular foodstuffs/mixed meals in healthy persons. METHODS Ten tested foodstuffs and glucose standard were consumed in three replicates in the course of a defined 9-day meal plan: puffed rice squares with chocolate, dark chocolate, white bread, honey and glucose for breakfast (at 7 a.m.) and dinner (at 8 p.m.); pasta with ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neonatal DTI enables quantitative assessment of microstructural brain properties. Although its use is increasing, it is not widely known that vast differences in tractography results can occur, depending on the diffusion tensor estimation methodology used. Current clinical work appears to be insufficiently focused on data quality and processing of neonatal DTI. To raise a...

We describe a process extension to a lazy functional programming system, intended for applications with graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In the extended language, dynamically-created processes communicate by asynchronous message passing. We illustrate the use of the language, including as an extended example a simple board game in which squares are implemented as concurrent processes. We also ...

We use a large and heterogeneous sample of the Danish population to investigate importance distributional preferences for behavior in trust game public good game. find robust evidence significant explanatory power preferences. In fact, compared twenty-one covariates, turn out be single most important predictor behavior. Specifically, subjects who reveal benevolence domain advantageous inequalit...

abstract a quantitative framework of combination of liner programming and cooperative game theory was used in this study to analyze and model cooperative contracts in production based on rural households' resources cooperation in firoozabad plain. revenues and costs in cooperation game theory have important rule to get agreement. transaction cost function was used in cooperative costs accountin...
