We report results from an experiment that examines play in an indefinitely repeated, 2-player Prisoner’s Dilemma game. Each experimental session involves N subjects and a sequence of indefinitely repeated games. The main treatment consists of whether agents are matched in fixed pairings or matched randomly in each indefinitely repeated game. Within the random matching treatment, we vary the inf...

We propose a bargaining process as a way of playing and solving non cooperative games. We focus on social dilemma situations and show that sequential proposals which, if confirmed by players, determine real play, may give rise to equilibrium outcomes which differ from the standard non cooperative solution. Specifically, we show that, under standard assumptions, in a prisoners’ dilemma with conf...

We introduce cooperative games (N, v) with a description polynomial in n, where n is the number of players. In order to study the complexity of cooperative game problems, we assume that a cooperative game v : 2N → Q is given by an oracle returning v (S) for each query S ⊆ N. Finally, we consider several cooperative game problems and we give a list of complexity results.

The article presents a mathematical model of multi-stage game the process safe control transport object in possible collision situations with other encountered objects, containing description state variables, and constraints, sets permissible strategies. Multi-criteria optimization tasks were formulated form positional matrix games under conditions playing non-cooperative cooperative as well no...

How to improve energy efficiency of WSNs(Wireless Sensor Network) is an important problem on the design of WSNs , for the demand of Multi-Services , a non-cooperative game power control model is proposed based on the WSNs model of CDMA, the existence and uniqueness of Nash Equilibrium in the game are proved. Then a distributed power control algorithm is proposed based on the game model. Simulat...

Question: What is the adaptive significance of extra-pair parentage? Theoretical approach:We view parentage as a ‘transaction currency’ for exchanges of ecological benefits. We develop a multi-player cooperative game, using the core and the Nash bargaining solution as solution concepts. Model assumptions: Birds can negotiate about who pairs with whom. Parentage can be exchanged between individu...

Owing to the distributed nature of denial-of-service attacks, it is tremendously challenging to detect such malicious behavior using traditional intrusion detection systems in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In the current paper, a game theoretic method is introduced, namely cooperative Game-based Fuzzy Q-learning (G-FQL). G-FQL adopts a combination of both the game theoretic approach and the ...
