Nash equilibrium problems in power markets and product design: analysis and algorithms

Kannan, Aswin - 2010

The focus of this research is on the analysis and computation of equilibria in noncooperative Cournot and Bertrandgames …. The application of focus for Cournot competition is power markets while that for Bertrand competitionis product design. We … consider Cournot-based models for strategic behavior in power markets while Bertrandbasedmodels are employed for analyzing the …

Convexity and complementarity in network formation. Implications for the structure of pairwise stable networks

Hellmann, Tim - 2009

This paper studies the properties of convexity (concavity) and strategic complements (substitutes) in network formation and the implications for the structure of pairwise stable networks. First, different definitions of convexity (concavity) in own links from the literature are put into the...
