Non-Cooperative Representations of Cooperative Games

open access: yesGames
Non-cooperative games in normal form are specified by a player set, sets of player strategies, and payoff functions. Cooperative games, meanwhile, are specified by a player set and a worth function that maps coalitions of players to payoffs they can ...

Quality-of-Service Satisfaction Games for Noncooperative Underwater Acoustic Communications

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Decentralized resource sharing for multiple noncooperative underwater acoustic (UWA) communication links is investigated. Point-to-point links, considered as rational players, are involved in a noncooperative game in which they compete to find a ...

Trade costs, infrastructure, and dynamics in a global economy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Economic Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops a dynamic two‐country model with trade costs linked to international infrastructure stock. With variable markups and firm heterogeneity, the welfare impact of trade costs depends on firms' cost distribution. Governments engage in a dynamic public investment game, leading to multiple steady states. The dynamic equilibrium of

Collaborative platooning and routing for mixed fleets of electric automated vehicles and conventional trucks

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

Preplay Negotiations with Unconditional Offers of Side Payments in Two-Player Strategic-Form Games: Towards Non-Cooperative Cooperation

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
I consider strategic-form games with transferable utility extended with a phase of negotiations before the actual play of the game, where players can exchange a series of alternating (turn-based) unilaterally binding offers to each other for incentive ...

‘Let's Go to the Land Instead’: Indigenous Perspectives on Biodiversity and the Possibilities of Regenerative Capital

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The land has been a source of capital accumulation since colonization through extractive activities like mining and industrial agriculture. Indigenous peoples have profoundly different relationships with the land, which are more relational than extractive. However, their knowledge has been subjugated by and systematically excluded from Western

Status Transfer across Borders: The Mediating Role of Common Partners in First Entry

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies on organizational status and international business (IB) have found evidence for the transferability of status to new markets by showing that, at least under certain circumstances, network status in the home market affects a firm's entry into and performance in new foreign markets; however, the status transfer mechanisms in ...

Optimal energy management of water networks under quality conditions

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 926-951, March 2026.
Abstract In the context of sustainability, which has become fundamental today, we aim to optimize (reduce) the energy consumption due to the use of pumps that bring water from all the different reservoirs to the nodes of the distribution network. The proposed model allows us, thanks to the use of smart meters and new 5G technologies, to determine the ...

A Novel Hybrid Hunger Games Search Algorithm With Differential Evolution for Improving the Behaviors of Non-Cooperative Animals

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Inspired by the behaviors of animals in the state of starvation, hunger games search algorithm (HGS) is proposed. HGS has shown competitive performance among other meta-heuristic (MH) algorithms.
