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 …

Incentive mechanism design in blockchain-based federated learning over edge clouds
… investigates and designs comprehensive, game-theoretic incentive mechanisms for blockchain-enabled federated edge learning systems, progressively addressing challenges from architectural latency to information asymmetry. First, this research addresses the latency and straggler issues …

Essays in mineral and energy policy
… rare earth markets. Specifically, we develop a Stackelberg game of coproduction and model the production responses of the three major rare earth producers to several different Chinese rare earth policies. We find that the response of each actor depends on the revenue share of each rare earth for …

A bi-level programming approach for the shipper-carrier network problem
The Stackelberg game betweenshippers and carriers in an intermodal network is formulated as a bi-levelprogram. In this network, shippers make production, consumption, androuting decisions while carriers make pricing and routing decisions.The oligopolistic carrier pricing and routing problem, which …

A Stackelberg signaling game for co-operative rendezvous in uncertain environments in a search-and-rescue context
… scenario as a modified asymmetric rendezvous game where limited communication capabilities are present between the two players. The scenario can be modeled as a co-operative Stackelberg Game where the rescuer acts as a leader in signaling his intent to the rescuee. We present an efficient …

Virtual transshipments and revenue-sharing contracts in supply chain management
… individual components' incentives. A two-stage Stackelberg game is used for the analysis. In this game, one player is the leader and the other one is the follower. The analysis reveals that the party who keeps more than half of the revenue should also be the leader of the Stackelberg game. …

Resource Modeling and Allocation in Competitive Systems
… is presented where a multi-player Retailer Stackelberg game is introduced to model the interactions between retailer and manufacturers. In the third project Supply-chain oriented robust parameter design, we introduce the game theoretical method, commonly used in supply-chain analysis to …

Linear and Nonlinear Pricing for Network Games With Complete and Incomplete Information
… pricing within the framework of a hierarchical Stackelberg (leader-follower) game, where the service provider sets prices for the resources (bandwidth) he offers as the leader, and the users respond by their choices of the amount of bandwidth (flow) they are willing to pay for. At the lower …

Coordination and competition in resource-constrained channels
… equilibrium behavior of a newsvendor procurement game. Our newsvendor procurement game generalizes the Stackelberg game introduced in Lariviere and Porteus (2001) to allow for multiple suppliers as well as a capacity constraint at the newsvendor. In order to convey the worst-case channel …

Performance Analysis of Contract for Options
… I model the contract negotiation as a two-stage Stackelberg game in which the supplier is the leader. I derive a closed-form expression for the optimal number of options that the manufacturer should purchase, and show the (unrestrictive) conditions under which the supplier's profit is unimodal in …

Coordination of distributed energy resources for a reliable, resilient, and affordable decarbonized grid
… electricity rates. Second, the thesis applies game theory and mechanism design to extract flexibility from autonomous, strategic DER owners. A repeated Stackelberg game with incomplete information and intertemporal constraints yields equilibrium pricing with closed-form solutions. Third, a …

Persistent patrolling in the presence of adversarial observers
… generally fail, however, to consider the game theoretic impacts of the adversary seeking to avoid the patroller's detection. The field of patrolling security games that addresses this two-player game is maturing with several authors posing the patrolling scenario as a leader-follower …

INTEGRATED DYNAMIC DEMAND MANAGEMENT AND MARKET DESIGN IN SMART GRID
… deficiencies. Then concepts and techniques from game theory, network optimization, and market design are borrowed to model the system as a Stackelberg game. Existence of an equilibrium solution to the problem is proved mathematically, and an algorithm is developed to solve the proposed nonlinear …

Markdown sharing policies as trade incentives in uncertain markets
… affects their decisions. A single-period Stackelberg game, where the manufacturer is the leader and the retailer is the follower, is used to develop a theoretical model explaining the interaction of channel members. The manufacturer first declares the price he will charge the retailer and …

Investigation of Causes and Evaluation of Programs: three applications of Health Economics
… inputs in the health production. A two-stage Stackelberg game facilitates the need to model the parent-child interaction which follows similar structure as You and Davis (2011). We use three measurements of relative deprivation based on per capita household income and four reference groups …

Evaluation of process systems operating envelopes
… problems give rise to a type of leader-follower game, or Stackelberg game, commonly known as the "minimax" problem, or more precisely as a max-min or min-max optimization problem. However, since the application here is to steady-state design, the problem formulation results in a more general …

Distributionally Ambiguous Stackelberg Combinatorial Games for Submodular Optimization and Camera View-Frame Placement
… develops exact solution methodologies for Stackelberg zero-sum games, which model sequential decision-making between an attacker and a defender. Our work specifically addresses challenging settings where the defender's recourse is a complex com- binatorial optimization problem and the …

Resource-Efficient Collaborative Training and Inference of Foundation Models in Edge-AI
… participation as a multi-leader multi-follower Stackelberg game, PRINCE allows SFL tenants to strategically allocate incentives, thus attracting high-quality edge contributions while ensuring bias-resilient aggregation and provable convergence of the global foundation model. To address the third …

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 …

Trustworthy and Efficient Blockchain-based E-commerce Model
… we introduce an incentive mechanism leveraging Stackelberg game theory. On the other hand, for optimizing intangible assets management, we employ Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) technology to tokenize these assets. This approach enhances traceability of ownership, transactions, and historical data, …
