Abstract-In this paper, correspondences are drawn between two game theory models (Nash noncooperative and Stackelberg games) and some problems in transportation systems modelling. An example of each is described in detail, namely the problem of carriers competing for intercity passenger travel and the signal optimization problem. The discussion serves to underline differences between two catego...

In the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) system, Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlying cellular networks can bring some advantages such as high data rates, low delay, low power consumption by reusing frequency bands with cellular user equipments (UEs). While at the same time, inter-cell and intra-cell interference is inevitable. The D2D users and cellular UEs will compete or cooper...

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...

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...

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...

In today complex worldwide supply chains, intermediary organizations like Contract manufacturers and GPOs are mostly used. Well-known OEMs delegate their purchasing and procuring to these intermediaries. Because of their positive influence on supply chain efficiency, it is very important to investigate the role of intermediaries in today competitive supply chains. One important question arising...

Given a general-sum normal form game and a prediction of opponent behavior it is difficult to select a strategy which balances the opportunity to exploit the prediction with the risk of being exploited. We propose Restricted Stackelberg Response with Safety (RSRS), a novel way of generating such a strategy. RSRS uses an r-safe Stackelberg equilibrium in a modified game, which is created to refl...

We consider a cognitive wireless network in which users adopt a spectrum sharing strategy based on cooperation constraints. The majority of cognitive radio schemes bifurcate the role of players as either cooperative or non-cooperative. In this work, however, we modify this strategy to one in which players are hybrid, i.e., both cooperative and non-cooperative. Using a Stackelberg game strategy,...

As discussed in previous chapters, algorithmic research on Stackelberg Security Games has had a striking real-world impact. But an algorithm that computes an optimal strategy for the defender can only be as good as the game it receives as input, and if that game is an inaccurate model of reality then the output of the algorithm will likewise be flawed. Consequently, researchers have introduced ...
