To strengthen border patrol measures, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are gradually used in many countries to detect illegal entries on borders. However, how efficiently deploy limited UAVs borders of large areas remains challenging. In this paper, we first model the problem deploying for as a Stackelberg game. Two players considered game: The agency is leader, who optimizes path immigrant. imm...

We study a multi-leader single-follower congestion game where multiple users (leaders) choose one resource out of set resources and, after observing the realized loads, an adversary (single-follower) attacks with maximum loads causing additional costs for leaders. For resulting strategic among leaders, we show that pure Nash equilibria fail to exist and therefore, consider approximate instead. ...

The roles and benefits of pumped storage are reflected in different stakeholders the power system. multi-dimensionality non-linearity multi-stakeholder decision-making make benefit realization a hot research topic with challenges. This paper takes sharing as breakthrough. It adopts multiple regulation strategies multi-level measures based on objectives stakeholders. A method framework for propo...

We investigate leading by example in a public goods game in scenarios with and without intergroup competition. Leading by example is implemented via a sequential decision protocol. We examine both one-shot and repeated interaction and make use of the strategy method to characterize followers’ conditional responses to the leader’s contribution. The results show that only follower but not leader ...

Recent results in the ML community have revealed that learning algorithms used to compute optimal strategy for leader commit a Stackelberg game, are susceptible manipulation by follower. Such algorithm operates querying best responses or payoffs of follower, who consequently can deceive responding as if his were much different than what they actually are. For this strategic behavior be successf...

in this paper, the competition between two supply chains and their elements is studied. each chain consisted of a manufacturer and a distributor and the two chains compete in a market with single type of customer sensitive to price and delivery time. therefore, this is a two-supply chain game and during the competition between two supply chains, elements of each supply chain (manufacturer and/o...

In the dual-channel supply chain, relationship between electronic direct selling channel and traditional is situated in an antagonistic game. The present study used master-slave game model to analyze chain structure, where manufacturer leader of game, seller follower Based on analysis theory, order analyzed state demand information sharing. decision each member constructed, optimal production p...

People exhibit peer-induced fairness concerns when they look to their peers as a reference to evaluate their endowments. We analyze two independent ultimatum games played sequentially by a leader and two followers. With peer-induced fairness, the second follower is averse to receiving less than the first follower. Using laboratory experimental data, we estimate that peer-induced fairness betwee...

This article presents a simple model to determine the location strategies of two retail firms planning to open a number of stores in a geographical market. Firms try to maximize their profit under a leader-follower type competition in which the number of stores is made endogenous by the introduction of fixed costs. A novel methodology is developed, in which firms’ strategies are defined in term...

This paper presents a motion control strategy for a rigid and constraint consistent formation that can be modeled by a directed graph whose each vertex represents individual agent kinematics and each of directed edges represents distance constraints maintained by an agent, called follower, to its neighbouring agent. A rigid and constraint consistent graph is called persistent graph. A persisten...
