چکیده

In 1950, John Nash contributed a remarkable one-page PNAS article that defined and characterized a notion of equilibrium for n- person games. This notion, now called the "Nash equilibrium," has been widely applied and adapted in economics and other behavioral sciences. Indeed, game theory, with the Nash equilibrium as its centerpiece, is becoming the most prominent unifying theory of social science. In this perspective, we summarize the historical context and subsequent impact of Nash's contribution.

Nash Equilibrium Strategy for Bi-matrix Games with L-R Fuzzy Payoffs

In this paper, bi-matrix games are investigated based on L-R fuzzy variables. Also, based on the fuzzy max order several models in non-symmetrical L-R fuzzy environment is constructed and the existence condition of Nash equilibrium strategies of the fuzzy bi-matrix games is proposed. At last, based on the Nash equilibrium of crisp parametric bi-matrix games, we obtain the Pareto and weak Pareto...

Nash equilibrium strategy in the deregulated power industry and comparing its lost welfare with Iran wholesale electricity market

With the increasing use of different types of auctions in market designing, modeling of participants’ behaviors to evaluate the market structure is one of the main discussions in the studies related to the deregulated power industries. In this article, we apply an approach of the optimal bidding behavior to the Iran wholesale electricity market as a restructured electric power industry and mode...

Bertrand-nash Equilibrium in the Retail Duopoly Model under Asymmetric Costs

In this paper, the Bertrand's price competition in the retail duopoly with asymmetric costs is analyzed. Retailers sell substitute products in the framework of the classical economic order quantity (EOQ) model with linear demand function. The market potential and competitor price are considered to be the bifurcation parameters of retailers. Levels of the barriers to market penetration depending...

A dynamical view of different solution paradigms in two-person symmetric games: Nash vs co-action equilibria

The study of games and their equilibria is central to developing insights for understanding many socio-economic phenomena. Here we present a dynamical systems view of the equilibria of two-person, payoff-symmetric games. In particular, using this perspective, we discuss the differences between two solution concepts for such games namely, those of Nash equilibrium and co-action equilibrium. For ...

It is a matter of hierarchy: a Nash equilibrium problem perspective on bilevel programming

Inspired by the optimal value approach, we propose a new reformulation of the optimistic Bilevel programming Problem (BP) as a suitable Generalized Nash Equilibrium Problem (GNEP). We provide a complete analysis of the relationship between the original hierarchical BP and the corresponding “more democratic” GNEP. Moreover, we investigate solvability and convexity issues of our reformulation. Fi...
