Abstract:

Abstract   This paper provides a closed-form optimal solution to the multi-objective model of the fair allocation of gains obtained by cooperation among all players. The optimality of the proposed solution is first proved. Then, the properties of the proposed solution are investigated. At the end, a numerical example in inventory control environment is given to demonstrate the application and to compare the results with the ones of an existing method.

Nash Cooperative Solution for Two-Person Games in Strategic Form

In this paper we consider two-person games in strategic form in cases in which each player has only two moves. The related Nash competitive and cooperative solution and Nash equilibria are presented. Nash cooperative solution is the only solution such that the corresponding payoffs respect three properties (belonging to feasible set, Pareto optimality and symmetry) together with two technical a...

A 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...

Meaningful and meaningless solutions for cooperative n-person games

Game values often represent data that can be measured in more than one acceptable way (e.g., monetary amounts). We point out that in such a case a statement about cooperative n-person game model might be “meaningless” in the sense that its truth or falsity depends on the choice of an acceptable way to measure game values. In particular we analyze statements about solution concepts such as the c...

A fuzzy approach to cooperative n-person games

The object of this paper is to provide a systematic treatment of bargaining procedures as a basis for negotiation. An innovative fuzzy logic approach to analyze n-person cooperative games is developed. A couple of indices, the Good Deal Index and the Counterpart Convenience Index are proposed to characterize the heuristic of bargaining and to provide a solution concept. The indices are examined...
