This paper solves a data-driven control problem for a flow-based distribution network with two objectives: a resource allocation and a fair distribution of costs. These objectives represent both cooperation and competition directions. It is proposed a solution that combines either a centralized or distributed cooperative game approach using the Shapley value to determine a proper partitioning o...

BACKGROUND Exergames (i.e., video games that require gross motor activity) may provide intrinsically motivating experiences that engage youth in sustained physical activity. METHOD Thirty-one low-income 15- to 19-year-old overweight and obese African American adolescents were randomly assigned to a competitive exergame (n = 17) or a cooperative exergame (n = 14) condition. Participants played...

Braess' paradox is a classical result in the theory of congestion games. It motivates theoretically why adding resource (e.g., an arc) to network may sometimes worsen, rather than improve, overall performance. Differently from previous literature, which studies non-cooperative game-theoretic setting, this work, framework proposed investigate its occurrence by exploiting cooperative games with t...

An evolutionary detection method based on generative relations for detecting the t-immune strategies of a non-cooperative game is introduced. Numerical experiments on an economic game show the potential of our approach.

Cooperative diversity protocols are designed with the assumption that terminals always help each other in a socially efficient manner. This assumption may not be valid in commercial wireless networks where terminals may misbehave for selfish or malicious intentions. The presence of misbehaving terminals creates a social-dilemma where terminals exhibit uncertainty about the cooperative behavior ...

The objective of cooperative game theory is to study ways to enforce and sustain cooperation among agents willing to cooperate. A central question in this field is how the benefits (or costs) of a joint effort can be divided among participants, taking into account individual and group incentives, as well as various fairness properties. In this chapter, we define basic concepts and review some o...

This paper, by comparing three potential energy trading systems, studies the feasibility of integrating a community energy storage (CES) device with consumer-owned photovoltaic (PV) systems for demand-side management of a residential neighborhood area network. We consider a fully-competitive CES operator in a non-cooperative Stackelberg game, a benevolent CES operator that has socially favorabl...

Cooperation is the essence of supply chain. All members of the supply chain cooperate and band together to create more value than that of each member can do, and to realize the whole value of supply chain, which is far greater than the simple sum of every link value. Cooperative efforts and collaborations between these enterprises make it easier to realize the whole benefit of supply chain and ...

In this paper, we investigate the problems of consensus-making among institution in stock exchange with multiple criteria for evaluating performance when the players (institutions) are supposed to be egoistic and the score for each criterion for a player is supposed to be a positive score. Each player sticks to his superiority regarding the criteria. This paper introduces the models for computi...
