In this paper, we introduce the concept of dynamic pricing within the context of our previous Stackelberg network game model and view the ISP’s policy as an incentive policy, and the underlying game as a reverse Stackelberg game. We study this incentive-design problem under complete information as well as incomplete information. In both cases, we show that the game is not generally incentive co...

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...

many studies have been conducted to determine the efficiency of two-stage network structures in the recent years. the two-stage network with additional inputs to the second stage, in which the second stage is independent of the first stage are one of these structures. thus, there is a need for a model capable of calculating the efficiency of two-stage structures as well as efficiency of each st...

This paper demonstrates that in a duopoly model with firms being concerned about profit as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR), the outcome of game may coincide with the Stackelberg outcome. We argue that owner of the firm may use CSR orientation as a strategy to become Stackelberg leader in the quantity competition game.

pricing and advertising are two important marketing strategies in the supply chain management which lead to customer demand’s increase and therefore higher profit for members of supply chains. this paper considers advertising, and pricing decisions simultaneously for a three-level supply chain with one supplier, one manufacturer and one retailer. the amount of market demand is influenced by pri...

This paper presents the formulation of a new concept dealing with a Robust Stackelberg equilibrium for a multi scenario or mutiple models of a linear affine-quadratic game. The game dynamic is given by a family of N different possible differential equations (MultiModel representation) with no information about the trajectory which is realized. The robust Stackelberg strategy for each player mus...

Stackelberg differential game models have been used to study sequential decision making in noncooperative games in diverse fields. In this paper, we survey recent applications of Stackelberg differential game models to the supply chain management and marketing channels literatures. A common feature of these applications is the specification of the game structure: a decentralized channel compose...

This paper proposes a dynamic Stackelberg repeated game for decentralized Device-to-Device (D2D) communications overlaying cellular communications. The proposed game aims to jointly optimize D2D user behavior via a user-in-the-loop (UIL) approach; and minimize transmit power, while maximizing packet delivery ratio (PDR) for all D2D users. The Stackelberg game architecture consists of a single l...
