چکیده

We start by giving a few precise definitions. Definition 1. A n-player finite game 〈[n], (Sp)p∈[n], (up)p∈[n]〉 is formally defined as follows. • We have a set of n players [n] = {1, 2, . . . , n}. • Each player p ∈ [n] has a finite set of strategies or actions Sp. • The set S = ∏ p∈[n] Sp is the set of strategy profiles. • Each player can choose a distribution of strategies x ̃p ∈ ∆p = {xp ∈ Rp + |∑sp∈Sp xp(sp) = 1}. • Each player has a utility function up : S → R. Here, given a mixed strategy profile x ̃ ∈ ∆ = ∏p∈[n] ∆p , the payoff of player p is given by the expected utility up(x ̃) = Es∼x ̃ [up(s)] . Given a strategy profile s ∈ S, we also adopt the notation sp to denote player p’s strategy and s−p to denote everyone else’s strategies. Similarly, given x ̃ ∈ ∆, we let x ̃p denote the distribution of strategies for player p and let x ̃−p denote the distribution of strategies for everyone else. Next, we give a few definitions for types of Nash equilibria.

A New Fairness Index and Novel Approach for QoS-Aware Resource Allocation in LTE Networks Based on Utility Functions

Resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in LTE networks. Most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. The great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (MOS) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. In this p...

MODELING RISK OF LOSING A CUSTOMER IN A TWO-ECHELON SUPPLY CHAIN FACING AN INTEGRATED COMPETITOR: A GAME THEORY APPROACH

In a competitive market, customer decision is made to maximize his utility. It can be assumed that risk of losing a supply chain’s customer can be defined based on products utility from customer point of view. This paper takes account of product price and service level as competition criteria. The proposed model is based on non-cooperative game theory, for one-manufacturer and one-retailer supp...

16 Linearity of Unrestrictedly Transferable Utilities

We quote from Ref. [1]: Most of the past work in n-person (game) theory has supposed that, in addition to receiving the payo¤s prescribed by the rules of the game, the players are permitted to make additional transfers—side payments in the delicate language of the theory, considerations or bribes in more direct vocabularies. Indeed, a far stronger assumption is made which is generally subsumed ...

Responsive Lotteries

Given a set of alternatives and a single player, we introduce the notion of a responsive lottery. These mechanisms receive as input from the player a reported utility function, specifying a value for each one of the alternatives, and use a lottery to produce as output a probability distribution over the alternatives. Thereafter, exactly one alternative wins (is given to the player) with the res...
