Building a computer poker agent with emphasis on opponent modeling
… this thesis, we present a computer agent for the game of no-limit Texas Hold'em Poker for two players. Poker is a partially observable, stochastic, multi-agent, sequential game. This combination of characteristics makes it a very challenging game to master for both human and computer players. We …

Vulnerability analysis of electricity distribution networks with large-penetrations of PEVs and DERs
… We formulate a two-player Stackelberg security game involving an attacker (external threat agent) and the defender (network operator). First, the attacker targets a subset of the insecure DER or PEV nodes, and strategically manipulates their set-points by attacking the DER/PEV controller logic …

Bargaining Theory
… bargaining using the methods of non-cooperative game theory. In Part I (chapters 1 and 2) we examine the role of commitment in bilateral bargaining. Two different notions of commitment in bargaining are explored in two different non-cooperative infinite-time horizon sequential games with complete …

Probabilistic concurrent game semantics
… languages in the framework of concurrent games. Our starting point is the model of concurrent games with symmetry of Castellan, Clairambault and Winskel. We show that they form a symmetric monoidal closed bicategory, and that this can be turned into a cartesian closed bicategory using a …

Three perspectives on social decision-making
… online participants how they might behave in a sequential game of chance (a hidden die game) with hypothetical partners and possible cheating. Extending previous findings, I found evidence of types that are predicted by a measure of social preferences. Many people are willing to collude, given …

Evaluating Intrusion Detection Systems for Energy Diversion Attacks
… Our main contribution is a Bayesian inspection game framework, which models the interactions between a profit-maximizing distribution utility and a population of strategic customers. In our framework, a fraction of customers are fraudulent - they consume same average quantity of electricity but …

FOREIGN AID FOR TRADE POLICY REFORMS
… donor and the recipient actions in two types of game: a passive donor game and an active donor game. The active donor game has two sub-games: a simultaneous game and a sequential game. This dissertation is composed of two theoretical chapters and one empirical chapter. The two theoretical …

Agricultural policy analysis under costly enforcement : an economic analysis of cheating
… implementation is modeled in this thesis as a sequential game between a regulator who designs the farm program, an enforcement agency that determines the level of policy enforcement, and the farmer who makes the production and cheating decisions. Analytical results show that cheating on output …

Essays on Public Good Contribution
… goods more generally. We model the process as a sequential game in public good contributions. One of the agents sets a quantity-contingent matching scheme to leverage higher contributions from the other players. Under the assumption that the preferences of agents are public information and the …

Near-Optimal Learning in Sequential Games
… become particularly challenging due to their sequential nature, where later decisions depend on earlier ones. While humans have been attempting to solve sequential decision making problems for a long time, modern computational and machine learning techniques are needed to find the optimal …

Stochastic Dynamic Optimization and Games in Operations Management
… stochastic dynamic optimization models and game models in operations management.</p><p>Markov decision processes (MDPs) and sequential games are good models of many real sequential decision processes. However, in diverse applications in operations research and economics, the state of the MDP …
