The Dynamic Rent-Seeking Games with Policymaker Cost and Competition Intensity

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2020
In this paper, a dynamic rent-seeking game incorporating policymaker cost and competition intensity is considered. On the basis of the political environment and rent-seekers with incomplete information set, the locally asymptotic stability of Nash ...

Are Start‐Up Acquisitions by Dominant Firms Driving Innovation or Killing Competition?

Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a sequential model to examine start‐up acquisitions in markets with network externalities, incorporating a pre‐entry strategic buyout option that allows the incumbent to integrate the start‐up's innovation, followed by post‐entry expenditure on coordination advertising, and defensive pricing strategies.

Nash equilibrium set function in dyadic mixed-strategy games [PDF]

Computer Science Journal of Moldova, 2017
Dyadic two-person mixed strategy games form the case for which Nash equilibrium sets can be determined simply. In this paper the set of Nash equilibria in a particular game is determined as an intersection of graphs of optimal reaction mappings of the ...

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Tactical and Strategic Risks From Supply Disruptions in Competing Supply Chains

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Supply chain disruptions can lead to both tactical (i.e., loss of short‐term sales during a disruption) and strategic (i.e., loss of long‐term market share) consequences. We model the impact of a supply disruption on competing supply chains in which two firms compete for a limited backup supply.

Successful Nash Equilibrium Agent for a Three-Player Imperfect-Information Game

Games, 2018
Creating strong agents for games with more than two players is a major open problem in AI. Common approaches are based on approximating game-theoretic solution concepts such as Nash equilibrium, which have strong theoretical guarantees in two-player zero-

Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.

Reducing the Complexity of Computing the Values of a Nash Equilibrium

Algorithms
The Colonel Blotto game, formulated by Émile Borel, involves players allocating limited resources to multiple “battlefields” simultaneously, with the winner being the one who allocates more resources to each battlefield.

Impact of the Addition of a Shading Algorithm in a Physically Based Conceptual River Hydrological–Temperature Model

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic impacts on the thermal regime of rivers include climate change and deforestation. For the latter, developing modelling tools that can account for the impact of varying vegetation cover on river temperatures is essential. This study describes a new addition to the CEQUEAU hydrological and water temperature model: a shading ...
