We study how to achieve cooperation between two self-interested agents that play repeated randomly generated normal form games. We take inspiration from a model originally designed to identify cooperative actions by humans who play a game, but we use the model in a prescriptive rather than descriptive manner. To identify cooperative intent, agents use a particle filter to learn the parameters o...

In this paper, we analyze the equilibrium of a sequential game-theoretical model of lobbying, due to Groseclose and Snyder (1996), describing a legislature that vote over two alternatives, where two opposing lobbies, Lobby 0 and Lobby 1, compete by bidding for legislators’ votes. In this model, the lobbyist moving first suffers from a second mover advantage and will make an offer to a panel of ...

Game theory has become an essential tool in the analysis of supply chains with multiple agents, often with conflicting objectives. This chapter surveys the applications of game theory to supply chain analysis and outlines game-theoretic concepts that have potential for future application. We discuss both non-cooperative and cooperative game theory in static and dynamic settings. Careful attenti...

Hot dry rock (HDR) power stations have the potential to serve as an energy storage system for large-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants. For flexible operation, thermal (TS) are required coordinate with HDR stations. In this study, a hybrid is constructed by combining HDR, TS, and PV Game theory then introduced into optimal dispatch of system. Considering players, non-cooperative cooperative game di...

One of the critical factors for a successful cooperative relationship in a supply chain partnership is trust. Many real-world applications, such as Supply Chain Management (SCM), can be modeled using multi-agent systems. One shortcoming of current SCM models is that their trust models are ad hoc and do not have a strong theoretical basis. As a result, they are unable to model subtleties in agen...

This paper addresses the spectrum leasing issue in cognitive radio networks by exploiting the secondary user’s cooperative retransmission. In contrast with the previous researches that focuses on cancellationbased or coding-based cooperative retransmissions, we propose a novel trading-based mechanism to facilitate the cooperative retransmission for cognitive radio networks. By utilizing the Sta...

Nodes in a mobile ad hoc network need to thwart various attacks and malicious activities. This is especially true for the ad hoc environment where there is a total lack of centralized or third-party authentication and security architectures. This paper presents a game-theoretic model to analyze intrusion detection in mobile ad hoc networks. We use game theory to model the interactions between t...

In this paper, several seller–buyer supply chain models are proposed which incorporate both cost factors as well as elements of competition and cooperation between seller and buyer. We assume that unit marketing expenditure and unit price charged by the buyer influence the demand of the product being sold. The relationships between seller and buyer will be modeled by non-cooperative and coopera...

In this paper, we study how datacenter energy cost can be effectively reduced in the wholesale electricity market via cooperative power procurement. Intuitively, by aggregating workloads and renewables across a group of datacenters, the overall power demand uncertainty of datacenters can be reduced, resulting in less chance of being penalized when participating in the wholesale electricity mark...
