A coupling game is a new model for partly cooperative and partly non-cooperative games. This paper describes benefits that result when coupling rational cooperation, under some situations, is increased. We prove that if a coupling game is strictly rational and partly cooperative, the higher the coupling factors, the larger the social payoff, which is the sum of the payoffs of all players. Other...

Numerous studies have shown that playing violent video games alone increases subsequent aggression. However, social game play is becoming more popular than solo game play, and research suggests cooperative game play is beneficial for players. The current studies explore the effects of cooperative game play on player’s subsequent aggressive behaviors toward video game partners (Experiment 1) and...

Research on video games has yielded consistent findings that violent video games increase aggression and decrease prosocial behavior. However, these studies typically examined single-player games. Of interest is the effect of cooperative play in a violent video game on subsequent cooperative or competitive behavior. Participants played Halo II (a first-person shooter game) cooperatively or comp...

In this paper, the cooperative games with fuzzy coalitions were discussed. Several integral representations which described the fuzzy character function of the cooperative game were given, and the important solution –-the Shapley function was also investigated. For the cooperative game where the rate of participation of every player in a coalition is allowed to range within interval [0,1], the ...

The power to gas (P2G) technology can realize the large-scale storage of electric energy in form natural gas, so that system and have ability flow energy, degree coupling between is deepened. As continues increase, an integrated (IES) with grid as core has emerged. However, under uncertain conditions, current planning methods still cannot guarantee optimal interests each manufacturer, a collabo...

many studies have been conducted to determine the efficiency of two-stage network structures in the recent years. the two-stage network with additional inputs to the second stage, in which the second stage is independent of the first stage are one of these structures. thus, there is a need for a model capable of calculating the efficiency of two-stage structures as well as efficiency of each st...

We consider a contract manufacturer who procures multiple components from independent suppliers to produce an assemble-to-order customized product for a client. The unit price of the product depends on the manufacturer’s delivery lead time. We explore how the manufacturer can use a “Vendor Managed Consignment Inventory (VMCI)” scheme to manage the underlying risk and coordinate independent supp...
