Computing the Optimal Game

چکیده
In many multiagent environments, a designer has some, but limited control over the game being played. In this paper, we formalize this by considering incompletely specified games, in which some entries of the payoff matrices can be chosen from a specified set. We show that it is NP-hard for the designer to decide whether she can make her choices so that no action in a given set gets played in equilibrium. Hardness holds even in zero-sum games and even in weak tournament games (which are symmetric zero-sum games whose entries are all −1, 0, or 1). The latter case is closely related to the necessary winner problem for a social-choice-theoretic solution concept. We then give a mixed-integer linear programming formulation for weak tournament games and evaluate it experimentally.

An interval-valued programming approach to matrix games with payoffs of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers
The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology for solving a new type of matrix games in which payoffs are expressed with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs). In this methodology, the concept of solutions for matrix games with payoffs of TIFNs is introduced. A pair of auxiliary intuitionistic fuzzy programming models for players are established to determine optimal strategies...
متن کاملApplication of Stochastic Optimal Control, Game Theory and Information Fusion for Cyber Defense Modelling
The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches. In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques. Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games. Applying jump processes we propose some m...
متن کاملModeling, Survey the Nash Equilibrium and Optimal Tax Fine Rate Determine in the Game of Taxpayers and Tax Affairs Organization
Todays, the importance of taxes as the main source of government revenue has been approved by economic policymakers and therefore, designing an optimal tax system to achieve this subject is essential. Governments are looking for ways to receive their target taxes from taxpayers at the lowest possible cost and at the declaration tax. Taxpayers, on the other hand, seek to postponed their taxes as...
متن کاملRELIABILITY-BASED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMAL DESIGN OF SPATIAL TRUSSES USING GAME THEORY AND GA
This paper introduces a reliability-based multi-objective design method for spatial truss structures. A multi-objective optimization problem has been defined considering three conflicting objective functions including truss weight, nodal deflection, and failure probability of the entire truss structure with design variables of cross sectional area of the truss members. The failure probability o...
متن کاملOptimal Strategy of State Lands allocation in Islamic Economics: Game Theory Approach
In the Islamic legal and economic system, a precise mechanism for land use is defined. The classification of lands, along with the flexible methods available to the government for the allocation of land, raises the question of what is the most desirable method for state lands allocation based on the Islamic legal and economic system? Accordingly, the purpose of the present study is to find a fa...
متن کاملPricing in a two-echelon supply chain with different market powers: game theory approaches
In this research, the optimal pricing decisions for two complementary products in a two-echelon supply chain under two scenarios are studied. The proposed supply chain in each echelon includes one retailer and two manufacturers and the same complementary products are produced. In the first scenario, we assume the unit manufacturing costs of the complementary products in each echelon are the sam...
