warranty as a kind of service contract today plays a role key in business and legal transactions. in this paper, we present a manufacturer, an agent and a customer's model under different service contracts suggestions. the manufacturer's profit is maximized by determining sale price, warranty period and warranty price. in addition we obtain optimal maintenance cost or repair cost for ...

In this paper, the researchers have made an attempt to address the problem of traffic network congestion to speed up the disaster response activity during a disaster. A dynamic environment is made up of static and moving obstacles. Each moving vehicle acts as a dynamic obstacle for other moving vehicle. There by increasing the network congestion. It is shown that the game theoretic model effect...

Energy constrained (WSNs) have been deployed widely for monitoring and surveillance purposes. so energy efficient protocols must be employed to prolong the network lifetime. Sensor node expends maximum energy in data communication. Minimizing the number of communications (exchanged messages) by eliminating redundant sensed data saves much amount of energy and extends the lifetime of overall sen...

Game theory is an efficient tool to represent and conceptualize the problems concerning conflict and competition. In recent years and especially for durable products, competition between domestic and foreign brands for gaining market share has received a considerable attention. This paper study electronic commerce concepts by differential game theory and introduce a novel and comprehensive mode...

in today's competitive world, maintaining competitive power of industries is the requirement of remaining in the competition. in the case of small industries, it also needs to think about strategies of making the industries more competitive in order to survive and have successful activity in competition. in many countries, one of the methods that have gained successful experience in increa...

Distributed simulation of large and complex networks requires equitable partitioning of the network model. We propose an iterative partitioning scheme for distributed network simulation that is based on a game theoretic model of simulated network nodes acting as players. We first model the cost function for the nodes and prove that a Nash equilibrium exists for the non-cooperative game in pure ...

In this article we discuss network growth based on Prisoner’s Dilemma Game(PDG) where palyers on nodes in a network palay with its linked players. The players estimate total profits according to the payoff matrix of the PDG. When a new node is attached to the network, the node make linkes to nodes in the network with the probabilities in proportion to the profits made by the game. Iterating thi...

In this paper we address the multispectral image contextual classification problem following a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) approach. The classification model is based on a Bayesian paradigm, with the definition of a Gaussian Markov Random Field model (GMRF) for the observed data and a Potts model for the a priori knowledge. The MAP estimator is approximated by the Game Strategy Approach (GSA) al...
