Optimal Strategies in Linguistic Games
نویسنده
چکیده
Why is this book in English? An insider can offer several answers, such as these: 1. Because the Editorial Group insisted that all papers be in English. 2. Because English is the native language of the book's honoree. 3. Because all of the authors can write in English, and some can write only in English. 4. Because Mouton can sell more copies of an all-English book than of a plurilingual book. 5. Because more of the existing literature in linguistics is in English than in any other language. These answers, in turn, lead to further questions: Why did the authors do what the Editorial Group asked? Why is English the major language of linguistics? And so on. Explaining a particular linguistic event can involve hypothetical links in an infinitely long and thus intractable causal chain. To avoid an infinite regress, we explain events by limiting the classes of allowable causal links. We may focus entirely on historical, or attitudinal, or biological, or political variables, for example. We create, implicitly or explicitly, rigorously or impressionistically, a closed system with a finite number of kinds of components interacting according to a finite number of rules. If the system is rigorously defined the result can be thought of as the scientific analog to a computerized spread-sheet program. A given set of assumptions yields a given set of results. Change one assumption and the results get recalculated. We have what is popularly called a 'what if' model: it tells us what

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 کاملA TRANSITION FROM TWO-PERSON ZERO-SUM GAMES TO COOPERATIVE GAMES WITH FUZZY PAYOFFS
In this paper, we deal with games with fuzzy payoffs. We proved that players who are playing a zero-sum game with fuzzy payoffs against Nature are able to increase their joint payoff, and hence their individual payoffs by cooperating. It is shown that, a cooperative game with the fuzzy characteristic function can be constructed via the optimal game values of the zero-sum games with fuzzy payoff...
متن کاملPricing and Advertising Decisions in a Three-level Supply Chain with Nash, Stackelberg and Cooperative Games
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 ...
متن کاملLinguistic Fuzzy-logic Social Game of Cooperation
I develop a new game-theoretic approach based, not on conventional Boolean two-valued logic, but instead on linguistic fuzzy logic which admits linguistic truth values. A linguistic fuzzy game is defined with linguistic fuzzy strategies, linguistic fuzzy preferences, and the rules of reasoning and inferences of the game operate according to linguistic fuzzy logic, not Boolean logic. This leads ...
متن کاملBI-MATRIX GAMES WITH INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY GOALS
In this paper, we present an application of intuitionistic fuzzyprogramming to a two person bi-matrix game (pair of payoffs matrices) for thesolution with mixed strategies using linear membership and non-membershipfunctions. We also introduce the intuitionistic fuzzy(IF) goal for a choiceof a strategy in a payoff matrix in order to incorporate ambiguity of humanjudgements; a player wants to max...
متن کاملImproved Profitability and Competition in Two Level Supply Chain by Non-Cooperative Games
This article by modeling a non-cooperative dynamic game tries to improve profitability and competition. This paper has considered how the manufacturer interacts with multiple competitor distributors. Each distributor also determines the optimal distribution price and inventory replenishment policies to maximize their profits. The issue form a non-cooperative dynamic game. Distributors formulate...
