In economics duopoly is a market dominated by two firms large enough to influence the market price. Stackelberg presented a dynamic form of duopoly that is also called ‘leader-follower’ model. We give a quantum perspective on Stackelberg duopoly that gives a backwards-induction outcome same as the Nash equilibrium in static form of duopoly also known as Cournot’s duopoly. We find two qubit quan...

This paper presents the formulation of a new concept dealing with a Robust Stackelberg equilibrium for a multi scenario or mutiple models of a linear affine-quadratic game. The game dynamic is given by a family of N different possible differential equations (MultiModel representation) with no information about the trajectory which is realized. The robust Stackelberg strategy for each player mus...

Stackelberg differential game models have been used to study sequential decision making in noncooperative games in diverse fields. In this paper, we survey recent applications of Stackelberg differential game models to the supply chain management and marketing channels literatures. A common feature of these applications is the specification of the game structure: a decentralized channel compose...

Encrypted data deduplication, along with different preferences in access control, brings the birth of hybrid encrypted cloud deduplication (H-DEDU for short). However, whether H-DEDU can be successfully deployed practice has not been seriously investigated. Obviously, adoption depends on it bring economic benefits to all stakeholders. But existing models storage fail support due complicated int...

Cooperative advertising is an agreement between a manufacturer and a retailer to share advertising cost at the local level. Previous studies have not investigated cooperative advertising for complementary products and their main focus was only on one good. In this paper, we study a two-echelon supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer with two complementary goods. The demand ...

Dynamic game theory is applied to analyze the timber market in northern Iran as a duopsony. The Nash equilibrium and the dynamic properties of the system based on marginal adjustments are determined. When timber is sold, the different mills use mixed strategies to give sealed bids. It is found that the decision probability combination of the different mills follow a special form of attractor an...

task graph scheduling is a multi-objective optimization and np-hard problem. in this paper a new algorithm on homogeneous multiprocessors systems is proposed. basically, scheduling algorithms are targeted to balance the two parameters of time and energy consumption. these two parameters are up to a certain limit in contrast with each other and improvement of one causes reduction in the other on...

We continue the study initiated in [Ro01] on Stackelberg Scheduling Strategies. We are given a set of independent parallel machines or equivalently a set of parallel edges on which certain flow has to be sent. Each edge is endowed with a latency function . The setting is that of a non-cooperative game: players choose edges so as minimize their individual latencies. Additionally, there is a sing...

As the computing resources and battery capacity of mobile devices are usually limited, it is a feasible solution to offload computation-intensive tasks generated by edge servers in (MEC). In this paper, we study multi-user multi-server task offloading problem systems, where all users compete for limited communication resources. We formulate with goal minimizing cost maximizing profits servers. ...

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...
