In the last years, there has been a substantial effort in the application of Stackelberg game-theoretic approaches in the security arena, in which security agencies implement patrols and checkpoints to protect targets from criminal attacks. The classical game-theoretic approach employed successful to solve security games is that of a Stackelberg game between a defender (leader) and an attacker ...

Cognitive jammers are able to deploy advanced strategies that degrade the performance of cognitive radio user communications. In this paper, we study the problem of power allocation in cognitive radio user and jammer games, over parallel Gaussian channels. We model the interaction between a communicator (a transmitter-receiver pair) and a jammer using zero-sum games with continuous action sets;...

This paper investigates three models to implement Tradable Green Certificates (TGC) system with aid of game theory approach. In particular, the competition between thermal and renewable power plants is formulated in three models: namely cooperative, Nash and Stackelberg game models. The price of TGC is assumed to be determined by the legislative body (government) which is fixed. Numerical examp...

We consider multiple access games in which primary users are interested in maximizing their confidential data rate at the minimum possible transmission power and secondary users employ eavesdropping as a leverage to maximize their data rate to a common destination at minimum transmission energy. For the non-cooperative static game, Nash equilibria in pure and mixed strategies are derived and sh...

In the current study, a supply chain structure is considered consisting of duopolistic manufacturers and monopolistic retailer. structure, product two substitutable products deliver them to end customers. One sells his/her only through common retailer whereas another one directly customers as well Obviously, competitive behavior established in order price under chain. this point view, game-theo...

Algorithms for finding game-theoretic solutions are now used in several real-world security applications. This work has generally assumed a Stackelberg model where the defender commits to a mixed strategy first. In general two-player normal-form games, Stackelberg strategies are easier to compute than Nash equilibria, though it has recently been shown that in many security games, Stackelberg st...

While the past literature on game theory rarely addresses the implementation of protocols that converge to Nash equilibria, practical networks must be designed with protocols that correctly address issues of information asymmetries, hysteresis effects due to these asymmetries, and the fact that information can propagate only locally on networks. To this end, we develop a distributed protocol ba...

This paper investigates inventory management in a multi channel distribution system consisting of one manufacturer and an arbitrary number of retailers that face stochastic demand. Existence of the pure Nash equilibrium is proved and parameter restriction which implies uniqueness of it is derived. Also the Stackelberg game where the manufacturer plays a roll as a leader is discussed. Under spec...

There has been significant recent interest in game theoretic approaches to security, with much of the recent research focused on utilizing the leader-follower Stackelberg game model; for example, these games are at the heart of major applications such as the ARMOR program deployed for security at the LAX airport since 2007 and the IRIS program in use by the US Federal Air Marshals (FAMS). The f...

The continuous network design problem (CNDP) is known to be difficult to solve due to the property of non-convexity and nonlinearity. Such kind of CNDP can be formulated as a bi-level programme, which may be classified into Stackelberg approach and Nash one according to the relationship between the upper level and the lower level parts. This paper formulates the CNDP for road expansion based on...
