In this paper we study boolean game with prioritized norms. Norms distinguish illegal strategies from legal strategies. Notions like legal strategy and legal Nash equilibrium are introduced. Our formal model is a combination of (weighted) boolean game and so called (prioritized) input/output logic. After formally presenting the model, we use examples to show that non-optimal Nash equilibrium ca...

Objective(s):Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is an important component of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) spectrum, which progresses to the end stage liver disease, if not diagnosed and treated properly. The disproportionate production of pro- and anti-inflammatory adipokines secreted from fat contributes to the pathogenesis of NASH. In this study, the comparative effect of piog...

Note: This is a only a draft version, so there could be flaws. If you find any errors, please do send email to [email protected]. A more thorough version would be available soon in this space. In this chapter, we introduce the all important notion of pure strategy Nash equilibrium. We provide several examples to illustrate this notion. We show that pure strategy Nash equilibrium may not ex...

Under the assumption of complete rationality, Nash equilibrium is the only reasonable strategy set of the finitely repeated prisoner's dilemma. In fact, some strategies only slightly deviate from the so‐called rationality, and the corresponding payoff may much better than that of Nash equilibrium. This article points out, even under the rational assumptions, the players have reason to seek a mu...

This lecture consists of two parts. The first part is on comparing and choosing from Nash Equilibria (NE), when there are multiple NE in a game. The concepts to be covered include Pareto, Minimax and Risk-dominant. In the second part, we will apply game theory to three networks problems: Service Differentiation, Multi-Provider Network, and WiFi Pricing. It is shown that with game theoretical ap...

runoff and sediment measurement is difficult in mountain watershed because of many different problems such as time and financial limitations. so using simulation model is necessary in this regard. accuracy and precision evaluation of models for different watershed of iran is necessary. the aim of this study was the evaluation of swat model efficiency in simulation of runoff and sediment yield i...

We consider the generalized Nash equilibrium problem which, in contrast to the standard Nash equilibrium problem, allows joint constraints of all players involved in the game. Using a regularized Nikaido-Isoda-function, we then present three optimization problems related to the generalized Nash equilibrium problem. The first optimization problem is a complete reformulation of the generalized Na...
