Stability, Bifurcation, and Chaos in N-Firm Nonlinear Cournot Games

چکیده
An N-firm production game known as oligopoly will be examined with isoelastic price function and linear cost under al Cournot competition. After the best responses of the firms are determined, a dynamic system with adaptive expectations is introduced. It is first shown that the local asymptotic behavior of the system is identical with that of the adaptive adjustment process in which the firms cautiously determine their outputs. Dynamic analysis is confined to two special cases, one in which N is divided into two groups and the other in which N is divided into three groups. Then stability conditions will be derived and the global behavior of the equilibria will be illustrated including chaos control. Lastly the twoand three-group models are compared with two-firm duopoly and three-firm triopoly models to shed light on roles of the number of the firms.

The rise of complex phenomena in Cournot duopoly games due to demand functions without inflection points
In this paper, we propose Cournot duopoly games where quantity-setting firms use nonlinear demand functions that have no inflection points. Two different kinds of repeated games are introduced based on rationality process of firms and Puu’s incomplete approach. First, a model of two rational firms that are in competition and produce homogenous commodities is introduced. The equilibrium points o...
متن کاملComplex nonlinear dynamics and controlling chaos in a Cournot duopoly economic model
Complex nonlinear economic dynamics in a Cournot duopoly model proposed by M. Kopel is studied in detail in this work. By utilizing the topological horseshoe theory proposed by Yang XS, the authors detect the topological horseshoe chaotic dynamics in the Cournot duopoly model for the first time, and also give the rigorous computer-assisted verification for the existence of horseshoe. In the pro...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics and global analysis of a heterogeneous Cournot duopoly with a local monopolistic approach versus a gradient rule with endogenous reactivity
We study a heterogeneous duopolistic Cournotian game, in which the firms, producing a homogeneous good, have reduced rationality and respectively adopt a ‘‘Local Monopolistic Approximation’’ (LMA) and a gradient-based approach with endogenous reactivity, in an economy characterized by isoelastic demand function and linear total costs. We give conditions on reactivity and marginal costs under wh...

ess as: A ciety (20 and host s.2014.0 Abstract This paper analyzes the dynamics of a Cournot duopoly model with different strategies. We offer results on existence, stability and local bifurcations of the equilibrium points. The bifurcation diagrams and Lyapunov exponents of the model are presented to show that the model behaves chaotically with the variation in the parameters. The state variab...
متن کاملBifurcation and Chaos in Size-Dependent NEMS Considering Surface Energy Effect and Intermolecular Interactions
The impetus of this study is to investigate the chaotic behavior of a size-dependent nano-beam with double-sided electrostatic actuation, incorporating surface energy effect and intermolecular interactions. The geometrically nonlinear beam model is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption. The influence of the small-scale and the surface energy effect are modeled by implementing the consistent ...
