This paper reports the results of the Ultimatum Game (UG), Dictator Game (DG) and Public Goods Game (PGG) played among the Tsimane, a group of forager-horticulturalists living in the Bolivian Amazon. Game results differ significantly from those commonly reported among modern, westernized populations. Without a long history of anonymous interactions, it is highly suspect whether the Tsimane or o...

Differential Game Based Guidance Law for High Angle of Attack Missiles By P. K. Menon and G.B. Chatterji Optimal Synthesis 450 San Antonio Road, Suite 53 Palo Alto, CA 94303 Abstract A nonlinear differential game theoretic intercept guidance law for short range missiles is derived. Differential geometric transformations are used to convert the nonlinear missile and the target models into a conv...

We consider in this paper a class of risk-sensitive stochastic nonzero-sum differential games with parameterized nonlinear dynamics and parameterized cost functions. The parametrization is such that if all or some of the parameters are set equal to some nominal values, then the differential game either becomes equivalent to a risk-sensitive stochastic control (RSSC) problem, or decouples into s...

  Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...

The H∞ hybrid estimation problem for linear discrete time-varying systems is investigated in this paper, where estimated signals are linear combination of state and input. Design objective requires the worst-case energy gain from disturbance to estimation error to be less than a prescribed level. Optimal solution of the hybrid estimation problem is the saddle point of a two-player zero sum diff...

In this paper, elements of differential game theory are used to analyze a spatially explicit home range model for interacting wolf packs when movement behavior is uncertain. The model consists of a system of partial differential equations whose parameters reflect the movement behavior of individuals within each pack and whose steady-state solutions describe the patterns of space-use associated ...

Perturbing information, before being shared with untrusted entities, is an effective and widely proposed approach to protect users’ privacy. However, the privacy of users and the utility of the obfuscated information are at odds with each other, and increasing one results in decreasing the other. In this paper, we propose a methodology for designing protection mechanisms that optimally trade ut...

In this paper we present a Nash equilibrium problem of linear quadratic zero-sum dynamic games for descriptor system. We assume that the players give a linear feedback to the game. For the game with finite planning horizon we derive a differential Riccati type equation. For the game with infinite planning horizon we consider an algebraic Riccati type equation. The connection of the game solutio...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of an official basketball game and its result on serum testosterone and cortisol responses as well as a possible difference in these hormones between fixed and reserved players. for this purpose, two teams were purposefully selected from semi-final games of tehran first clubs. the blood samples of 22 female players (mean age: 20 years, ...
