Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprising of tiny, power-constrained nodes are getting very popular due to their potential uses in wide applications like monitoring of environmental conditions, various military and civilian applications. The critical issue in the node is energy consumption since it is operated using battery, therefore its lifetime should be maximized for effective utilization ...

Game theory models decision makers' behaviors in strategic situations. Since the structures of games are different, behavior and preferences of the players are different in various types of game. This paper reviews various situations of games. Here, characteristics of some common games are discussed and compared. Specifically, we focus on a group of games called symmetric games including Prison...

credence goods market is one of the markets that the asymmetric information has transformed it to a missing market. those goods and services that the applicant cannot determine the exact amount of their expenses due to the asymmetric information are called credence goods. from the economists' perspective, transaction in a market where participants are ignorant about each other is a game wi...

the shapley value, one of the most common solution concepts of cooperative game theory is defined and axiomatically characterized in different game-theoretic models. certainly, the shapley value can be used in interesting sharing cost/reward problems in the operations research area such as connection, routing, scheduling, production and inventory situations. in this paper, we focus on the shapl...

the present study aims to provide a solution to optimize land use through multi-objective linear programming, and to solve the conflicts generated in the process using game theory, in two cities of gorgan and kurdkoy, iran. the primary land use planning was completed for seven land use through multi-criteria evaluation and then a first allocation was implanted using mola. in the secondary land ...

in this article, a game in which terrorists and the state government are the players is considered. on the one hand, terrorists try to attack major cities and impose damages (loss in the state’s point of view), on the other hand, the state tries to reduce damages through establishing the optimal number of facilities that are also optimally located. furthermore, allocating of fixed facilities in...

Identifying clusters is an important aspect of data analysis. This paper proposes a noveldata clustering algorithm to increase the clustering accuracy. A novel game theoretic self-organizingmap (NGTSOM ) and neural gas (NG) are used in combination with Competitive Hebbian Learning(CHL) to improve the quality of the map and provide a better vector quantization (VQ) for clusteringdata. Different ...
