Game theory is a set of tools developed to model interactions between agents with conflicting interests [5]. It is a field of applied mathematics that defines and evaluates interactive decision situations. It provides analytical tools to predict the outcome of complicated interactions between rational entities, where rationality demands strict adherence to a strategy based on observed or measur...

This paper investigates core stability of cooperative (TU) games via a fuzzy extension of the totally balanced cover of a cooperative game. The stability of the core of the fuzzy extension of a game, the concave extension, is shown to reflect the core stability of the original game and vice versa. Stability of the core is then shown to be equivalent to the existence of an equilibrium of a certa...

The paper uses a non-cooperative simultaneous game for coalition structure formation (Levando, 2016) to demonstrate some applications of the introduced game: a cooperation, a Bayesian game within a coalition with intra-coalition externalities, a stochastic game, where states are coalition structures, self-enforcement properties of non-cooperative equilibrium and construction of a non-cooperativ...

This paper defends the use of non-cooperative game theory for analysing questions governance. To do so it posits a way extending resource account social power from cooperative games to noncooperative in that side steps range criticism. involves identifying tipping points reputations certain agents paying and punishing those their thrall. These are what give threats offers credibility absence en...

In many multiagent systems, agents can improve their performance by forming coalitions, i.e., pooling their efforts and resources so as to achieve the tasks at hand in a more efficient way. This holds both for cooperative agents, i.e., agents who share a common set of goals, and for selfish agents who only care about their own payoffs. For cooperative agents, to find the optimal collaboration p...

Large-scale projects often have several activities which are performed by subcontractors with limited multi-resources. Project scheduling with limited resources is one of the most famous problems in the research operations and optimization cases. The resource-constraint project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a NP-hard problem in which the activities of a project must be scheduled to reduce the p...

Supply chain network is the collection of physical locations, transportation vehicles and supporting systems through which the products and services are managed and ultimately delivered. It connects suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers with competition and collaboration. Each decision maker in the network aims to achieve profit maximization, capacity maximization, and delay mini...
