Self-Tuning Methods for Multiple-Controller Systems
… are obtained for the stochastic adaptive Nash game and Leader-Follower game problems. These adaptive solutions, after a judicious transformation, resemble closely the implicit self-tuning solution for the single-controller single-objective case, and thus preserve the salient and …

Essays on technological change and innovation games
… of technological externalities, in a Cournot Nash game theoretic framework. Process innovation theory has focused predominantly on changes in the production possibility set of industrial structures producing homogenous goods. Indeed, firms are assumed to produce identical goods at the same …

Risk penalties for enhanced reliability in co-optimized markets with uncertain generation
… market and a reserves market. The resulting game-theoretic problem is a two-period stochastic Nash game with risk-based objectives and the associated equilibrium conditions are given by a complementarity problem. Preliminary numerical results on a 6-firm problem provide insights regarding the …

Multi-period demand response management in the smart grid: a Stackelberg game approach
… interactions are modeled by a noncooperative game of a Stackelberg type where the interactions among the utility companies are captured through a Nash equilibrium. It is shown that this game has a unique Stackelberg equilibrium at which the utility companies set prices to maximize their …

Towards better management of organizational cybersecurity
… and protection level. Second, we develop a game-theoretical model that characterizes a real-time dynamic interaction between an unidentified attacker and a defender in Internet Service Provider (ISP) level. Specifically, we propose a Bayesian Nash game in a network security setting. In this …

Three essays on pricing, quality, and advertising decisions while anticipating a product recall
… losses for the entire supply chain. Using a game theoretic modelling approach, this thesis examines pricing, quality, and advertising decisions to manage product recalls and mitigate associated risks and losses. The core chapters of the thesis consider three relevant topics on product recall …

Nash equilibrium problems in power markets and product design: Analysis and algorithms
… in noncooperative Cournot and Bertrand games. The application of focus for Cournot competition is power markets while that for Bertrand competition is product design. We consider Cournot-based models for strategic behavior in power markets while Bertrandbased models are employed for …

Sustainable and reliable design of large-scale complex logistics systems under competition and uncertainties
… economic and societal impact. First, We develop game-theoretical models based on Continuum Approximation (CA) to study a reliable competitive location problem where facilities are simultaneously subject to (i) symmetric or leader-follower types of competitions, and (ii) location-dependent …

Control and estimation with limited information: a game-theoretic approach
… we consider four different problems within a game-theoretic framework to address the above questions. The first part of the thesis considers problems of control and estimation with limited communication, which correspond to question (1) above. We first consider the minimax estimation problem …

Distributed algorithms for networked multi-agent systems: optimization and competition
… inequality problems; and (iii) a sub-class of Nash games. In the first part of this thesis, we consider a multiuser convex optimization problem. Traditionally, a multiuser problem is a constrained optimization problem characterized by a set of users (or agents). Such problems are characterized …

Generalized Nash games with shared constraints: Existence, efficiency, refinement and equilibrium constraints
… to some fundamental questions in the theory of games. Our focus is on a class of noncooperative N -player games, called generalized Nash games with shared constraints, or simply, shared-constraint games. In such a game, every strategy-tuple is constrained to lie in a subset C of the product …
