Inductive game theory has been developed to explore the origin of beliefs of a person from his accumulated experiences of a game situation. It has been restricted to a person's view of the structure not including another person's thoughts. In this paper, we explore the experiential origin of...

This paper looks at society divided into two groups where personal assets as well as group specific values influences the individuals' utility (positively for own group's value and possibly otherwise for the other group's value). Individual resource allocation problem may lead to under...

The concert queueing problem corresponds to determining the equilibrium arrival profile of non-cooperative customers selecting their arrival times to a queue where the service opens at a specified time. The customers are allowed to arrive before or after this time. This problem has a variety of...

This paper introduces a methodology based on fuzzy game theory to determine the buyer's priority of the attributes and select a product in the e-business system. The game theory model developed in our paper considers the prioritization of attributes as strategies for the player (player 1) in one...

This study seeks to analyze the impact of governmental regulations on the pollution level in a duopoly framework with endogenous market structure. We consider a dirty industry which involves two asymmetric firms, an MNC and a domestic firm, producing a homogenous product, where the MNC is so...

In this paper, we develop a non-cooperative game theoretic model for our problem context in which the competing producers adopt one of the two alternate production and marketing technologies — efficient and inefficient. We examine stability related implications of the producers' decisions...

Horizontal supply chains is the term used when suppliers competing at a particular level of the chain form a coalition to benefit from their cooperation rather than the usual competitive strategies used by them to become part of the supply chain. Such horizontal cooperation among competitors is...

We consider a two player finite state-action general sum single controller constrained stochastic game with both discounted and average cost criteria. We consider the situation where player 1 has subscription-based constraints and player 2, who controls the transition probabilities, has...

Bermudan option is an option which allows the holder to exercise at pre-specified time instants where the aim is to maximize expected payoff upon exercise. In most practical cases, the underlying dimensionality of Bermudan options is high and the numerical methods for solving partial...
