Interdependent defense games with applications to Internet security at the level of autonomous systems

Chan, Hau; Ceyko, Michael; Ortiz, Luis - In: Games 8 (2017) 1, pp. 1-60

instances of IDD games based on the real-world Internet-derived graph at the level of autonomous systems (≈27 K nodes and ≈100 K … edges as measured in March 2010 by the DIMES project). We call such games Internet games. We introduce and empirically …-generated instances of Internet games. In general, preliminary experiments applying our proposed heuristics are promising. Our experiments …

Analysis of the competition of the South-Eastern Railway of Peru through a timetable auction

Aliaga-Miranda, Augusto; Flores-Vilcapoma, Luis Ricardo; … - In: Games 16 (2025) 2, pp. 1-19

Our research analyzes the design of an auction model for railway transportation on the South-East Railway of Peru, managed by Ferrocarril Transandino S.A. (Fetransa) and operated by PeruRail. Initially, the regulatory framework aimed to promote competition in railway transportation through...

A review of attacker-defender games and cyber security

Hausken, Kjell; Welburn, Jonathan William; Zhuang, Jun - In: Games 15 (2024) 4, pp. 1-27

The focus of this review is the long and broad history of attacker-defender games as a foundation for the narrower and shorter history of cyber security. The purpose is to illustrate the role of game theory in cyber security and which areas have received attention and to indicate future research...

Simulation of the Stackelberg-Hotelling game

Garcia-Perez, Luis; Grau-Climent, Juan; Losada, Juan C.; … - In: Games 15 (2024) 5, pp. 1-25

This work studies the Hotelling game with sequential choice of prices, that is, the Stackelberg-Hotelling (SHOT) game. The game is studied through numerical simulation, which provides the subgame perfect equilibrium solution not only in the unrestricted game but also in the game with reservation...

Optimal voluntary vaccination of adults and adolescents can help eradicate Hepatitis B in China

Scheckelhoff, Kristen; Ejaz, Ayesha; Erovenko, Igor V.; … - In: Games 12 (2021) 4, pp. 1-13

Hepatitis B (HBV) is one of the most common infectious diseases, with a worldwide annual incidence of over 250 million people. About one-third of the cases are in China. While China made significant efforts to implement a nationwide HBV vaccination program for newborns, a significant number of...

Validating game-theoretic models of terrorism : insights from machine learning

Bang, James T.; Basuchoudhary, Atin; Mitra, Aniruddha - In: Games 12 (2021) 3, pp. 1-20

There are many competing game-theoretic analyses of terrorism. Most of these models suggest nonlinear relationships between terror attacks and some variable of interest. However, to date, there have been very few attempts to empirically sift between competing models of terrorism or identify...

Governmental taxation of households choosing between a national currency and a cryptocurrency

Wang, Guizhou; Hausken, Kjell - In: Games 12 (2021) 2, pp. 1-24

A game between a representative household and a government was analyzed. The household chose which fractions of two currencies to hold, e.g., a national currency such as a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and a global currency such as Bitcoin or Facebook's Diem, and chose the tax evasion...

A game-theoretic model of strategic interaction using advertising : simulating the evolution of the Cournot Nash equilibrium under different competitive scenarios

Brady, Malcolm - In: Games 12 (2021) 4, pp. 1-16

This paper examines the behaviour of two firms competing in a duopoly, where firms can influence demand through use of advertising. The paper simulates the strategic interaction of the two firms based on a game-theoretic Cournot analytical model. The evolution over time of the Nash equilibrium...

What can game theory tell us about an AI "theory of mind"?

Harre, Michael - In: Games 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1-11

Game theory includes a rich source of methods for analysing strategic interactions where there are a small number of agents, each having only a few choices. In more complex settings though, where there are many choices over indefinite time horizons involving large social groups, these methods...

Overcoming choice inertia through social interaction : an agent-based study of mobile subscription decision

Saha, Barsha; Martínez-García, Miguel; Bhattacharya, … - In: Games 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1-16

Subscription decision in the telecom market is quite complex and cumbersome, invoking decision inertia in consumers and resulting in suboptimal choices. We implemented choice inertia and consumer interaction as an agent-based model to better understand the process. The model illustrates that...
