A Game Theoretic Approach to Resilient Space System Design
… resilient design. To address this gap, a novel game-theoretic methodology is proposed to capture the interactive nature of non-cooperative systems at the strategic design level. The result is a two-player strategic design game in which the system under design and the threat system are both …

Interstate variations in AFDC benefits: a game theoretic approach
… is modeled as a two state generalized game. The model's implication are derived and empirically testeµ. The results of the empirical tests support the game theoretic model; The observed pattern of interstate variations in the AFDC benefit level is consistent with the model's …

Dealing With Misbehavior In Distributed Systems: A Game-Theoretic Approach
… the system wide goals. Micro-economics and game theory provides suitable tools to model such interactions. We use game theory to model and study three specific problems in distributed systems. We study the problem of sharing the cost of multicast transmissions and develop mechanisms to …

Control and estimation with limited information: a game-theoretic approach
… performance and stability? (2) What are the approaches one has to adopt to design a decentralized controller for a complex system to deal with structural constraints? In this thesis, we consider four different problems within a game-theoretic framework to address the above questions. The …

Firm Strategy and Research and Development: A Game Theoretic Approach
The research and development decision pivots on many important variables--some beyond the control of the decision maker. One of these variables is the presence or absence of patent protection. The possibility of imitation adds additional uncertainty into the decision. The riskiness of the project …

A game theoretic approach to UAV routing and information collection
… to maximize their payoffs. Consequently, our game-theoretic approach is a natural fit. While our game model is primarily based on the game model used in a previous work, it is also significantly generalized, incorporating interesting facets of information fusion and multi-modality-composed …

Game-Theoretic Approach with Cost Manipulation to Vehicular Collision Avoidance
Collision avoidance is treated as a game of two players with opposing desiderata. In the application to automated car-like vehicles, we will use a differential game in order to model and assess a worst-case analysis. The end result will be an almost analytic representation of a boundary between a …

Game theoretic approach in routing protocols for wireless mobile ad hoc networks
… by introducing hierarchy among nodes. Two game theoretic models, Forwarding Dilemma Game (FDG) and Forwarding Game Routing Protocol (FGRP), is proposed to minimize the 'flooding' effect by restricting nodes that should participate in route discovery process based on their status. Both FDG …

Analysis of the United States pediatric immunization market: A game theoretic approach
… particular interest. This dissertation applies game theory and operations research techniques to analyze the pricing strategies in the United States Pediatric vaccine market. The market is studied from four different aspects. First, integer programming is applied to analyze pricing strategies …

Rules for water allocation in a small watershed: A game theoretic approach
… and allocational distortions. Using a game theoretic approach based on multilateral bargaining models, this study addresses the issue of designing trade rules to facilitate smooth functioning of a thin spot rights market operating in a variety of exchange environments."

A Game Theoretic Approach to the Political Economy of the Korean Rice Market
I applied this model to the Korean rice market. A major finding is that the Korean government has gotten more and more utilitarian in policy and should have imported rice to sustain neutrality to inequity in Korean rice market.

Integrated renewable energy polygeneration networks: a multi-objective optimisation and game theoretic approach
… worldwide. Mathematical modelling, paired with game theory principles, can optimize decision-making among stakeholders, enhancing resource allocation and strategic planning. Furthermore, the necessity of industrial symbiosis becomes evident, as it promotes the efficient exchange of resources …

The conduct of monetary policy under risks to financial stability: a game - theoretic approach
… objective replacing the output-gap. Modelling a game between a central bank and the financial sector similar to Barro and Gordon (1983), we examine monetary policy under commitment and discretion. In contrast to the relevant literature, we conclude that pre-emptive monetary policy succeeds in …

Think Smart, Play Dumb: A Game Theoretic Approach to Study Deception in Hardware Trojan Testing
… threats. In this thesis, a novel multi-level game-theoretic framework is introduced to analyze the interactions between a hardware manufacturer, who may be an attacker, and an IC designer, acting as defender, in terms of how they navigate the area of hardware testing. In particular, the game …

A game-theoretic approach to the security of emerging cognitive radio and small cell networks
… using the framework of noncooperative game theory. Assuming that the SUs have full knowledge of the eavesdroppers, we propose a novel secure channel selection algorithm that enables the SUs and eavesdroppers to take distributed decisions so as to reach a Nash equilibrium point. Then, we …

On Distinguishing the Meaningless from the Meaningful: An Evolutionary Game Theoretic Approach to Ruth Millikan\'s Teleosemantics
… to the history of the term. Using evolutionary game theory, I offer a way to clarify the distinction between the meaningless and the meaningful. I reject the possibility of correlating meaning with an evolutionarily stable strategy as this does not seem to be consistent with how communication …

New Product Launch Decisions under Competition and Uncertainty: A Real Options and Game-Theoretic Approach to New Product Development
… Both real options (to handle uncertainty) and game theory (to capture the effects of the competitions actions) have been evaluated and used by these groups. However, they have not been adequately integrated together in the academic world, let alone in industry. This thesis help bridge the gap …

Analysis of Blockchain-based Smart Contracts for Peer-to-Peer Solar Electricity Transactive Markets

Geometric and Game-Theoretic Control of Energy Assets in Small-Scale Power Systems
The work presented in this dissertation takes a game-theoretic approach to balancing the supply and demand for energy. Since the action of one element on a small power system can influence the entire system, it is then useful to view components as players in a nonzero sum game, where they compete …
