A passive radio-frequency (RF) energy harvester collects the radiated energy from nearby wireless information transmitters instead of using a dedicated wireless power source. The energy harvester needs multiple transmitters to concentrate their RF radiation on it because typical electric field strengths are weak. For multi-user transmissions over MIMO interference channels, each user designs th...

Current advances in wireless sensor networks have contributed to the development of multi-hop wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs). These networks, which are primarily comprised of low-power sensor nodes, provide long term health and physiological monitoring of patients without obstructing their normal activities. However, the time-varying nature of network resources poses a significant challe...

Many problems in multiagent learning involve repeated play. As such, naive application of Nash equilibrium concepts are often inappropriate. A recent algorithm in the literature (Stimpson & Goodrich 2003) uses a Nash bargaining perspective instead of a Nash equilibrium perspective, and learns to cooperate in self play in a social dilemma without exposing itself to being exploited by selfish age...

We consider the long-run outcomes of bargaining games when players obey prospect theory. extend evolutionary model Young (1993) to a two-stage Nash demand game. Two simultaneously choose whether exercise an outside option in first stage and play game second stage, which will be reached only if neither player exercises option. address influence on stochastically stable division reference-depende...

Abstract In the 1950s, the Nobel Prize winner John F. Nash has shown that under certain conditions, the best solution to the bargaining problem is when the product of the (increase in) utilities is the largest. Nash’s derivation assumed that we are looking for strategies that assign a single situation to each bargaining situation. In this paper, we propose a simplified derivation of Nash bargai...

Background and objective: The location of facilities is of great importance in healthcare and is of interest to researchers due to its importance. In this regard, a large proportion of classic location-allocation models concentrate on solving problems in an exclusive environment (non-competitive), but this assumption is rarely true in reality. Methods: At...

In this article, the bankruptcy theory and bargaining games are used to construct a two-stage water resources allocation negotiation model (TSANM). A Nash-bargaining game is for initial allocation, followed by an adjustment stage which considers factors such as circumstances, satisfaction, risk, efficiency. The TSANM systematically multi-dimensional attributes of in process may likely increase ...
