We investigate the Nash-Cournot oligopolistic market equilibrium model with concave cost function. We show that in this case the model can be formulated as a mixed variational inequality on its convex, compact strategy set, which, in general, may fail to exist an equilibrium point. We give conditions under which the model has an equilibrium point. We then propose an algorithm for finding an equ...

Abstract: This study is carried out to describe the behaviour of vehicles flow on the road, in the presence of blocking effects. A non-linear three dimensional system of ordinary differential equations is used to describe vehicles flow on the road. The study classify total vehicles population on the road into three compartments as Free – Slow – Released vehicles. The formulated model is well-po...

Recently, there has been renewed interest about incomplete security markets. Hart (1975) provided an example of nonexistence of competitive equilibria for incomplete real securities, which are claims to commodity bundles. Given this finding, Duffie and Shafer (1985, 1986a, b) prove generic existence of competitive equilibria of incomplete real security markets. Husseini et al. (1990) Geanakoplo...

An iterative procedure for the game of Matching Pennies is examined in which players use Nash’s map to respond to mixed strategies of the other players. It is shown that even though the game of Matching Pennies is a game with a unique Nash equilibrium point, the iterative procedure does not lead to convergence to the Nash equilibrium. In fact we find that if the game is played using this iterat...

in this paper by using the idea of mean convergence, weintroduce an iterative scheme for finding a common element of theset of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the fixed points setof a nonspreading-type mappings in hilbert space. a strongconvergence theorem of the proposed iterative scheme is establishedunder some control conditions. the main result of this paper extendthe results obtain...

Unlike perfect competitive markets, in oligopoly electricity markets due to strategic producers and transmission constraints GenCos may increase their own profit through strategic biddings. This paper investigates the problem of developing optimal bidding strategies of GenCos considering participants’ market power and transmission constraints. The problem is modeled as a bi-level optimizati...

We consider Nash–Cournot oligopolistic market equilibrium models with concave cost functions. Concavity implies, in general, that a local equilibrium point is not necessarily a global one. We give conditions for existence of global equilibrium points. We then propose an algorithm for finding a global equilibrium point or for detecting that the problem is unsolvable. Numerical experiments on som...
