The issue of channel power in supply chain has recently received considerable attention in literature. Several different channel interactions between manufacturers and retailers and the relative power of supply chain members have been examined. Most of these practices considered all manufacturers to be Stackelberg leaders or followers over/under retailers. In this paper we add to the existing l...

A method to quantify the individual contribution of power system stabilisers (PSSs) to enhance system performance is proposed. Enhancement in system performance from PSS is measured through increased system transfer capability and the margin of stability thus achieved, and considering an N 1 contingency criterion. The method is based on cooperative game theory and makes use of the Shapley value...

In this thesis, game theoretic analysis of wireless communication networks has been performed. Game theory provides valuable tools can be used to solve problem of conflict and cooperation in wireless communication networks. Game theoretic tools can be applied to multiple layers of wireless networks. First, we consider power control issues at the physical layer of wireless networks. A game theor...

We assess the predictive power of a model of other-regarding preferences—inequality aversion—using a within-subjects design. We run four different experiments (ultimatum game, dictator game, sequential-move prisoners’ dilemma and public-good game) with the same sample of subjects. We elicit two parameters of inequality aversion to test several hypotheses across games. We find that within-subjec...

In this paper, we introduce a variant of the Ehrenfeucht-Fräıssé game from logic which is useful for analyzing the expressive power of classes of generalized regular expressions. An extension of the game to generalized ω-regular expressions is also established. To gain insight into how the game can be applied to attack the long-standing generalized star height 2 problem, we propose and solve a ...

We describe an educational game in collaborative logistics. The game is based on an award winning application in cost allocation in forest transportation. The purpose of the game is to get an understanding of negotiation, coalition building and cost/profit sharing when the players have different power and hold different levels of information. The game is played with each player representing a s...

In this paper we examine the value of the information contained in networks constructed from positions in chess games with respect to game analysis and predictive power. The interrelations of pieces in a chess game represent complex and evolving networks that describe both tactical and strategic elements of the game. Even when a chess game is represented as a network of interrelations among the...

abstract a quantitative framework of combination of liner programming and cooperative game theory was used in this study to analyze and model cooperative contracts in production based on rural households' resources cooperation in firoozabad plain. revenues and costs in cooperation game theory have important rule to get agreement. transaction cost function was used in cooperative costs accountin...

This article studies whether the Islamic world's geopolitics has enough capacity and capability to compete in the power game and world leadership. The results of this article indicate that Islamic world's geopolitics with a lot of economic, military, strategic and ideological capacities is capable enough to compete with great powers in the track to achieve world leadership; on the condition tha...

Demand response is an effective way to alleviate the pressure on power systems and improve energy utilisation efficiency. This study constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model government, companies virtual plants (VPPs), analyses dynamic behavioural selection mechanism of three parties under demand-response mode. The results show that: (1) government guidance management are means promote s...
