Nash equilibrium problems in power markets and product design: analysis and algorithms

Kannan, Aswin - 2010

The focus of this research is on the analysis and computation of equilibria in noncooperative Cournot and Bertrandgames …. The application of focus for Cournot competition is power markets while that for Bertrand competitionis product design. We … consider Cournot-based models for strategic behavior in power markets while Bertrandbasedmodels are employed for analyzing the …

Treaty verification with an uncertain partner

Weissenberger, S. - 2008

A simple model is used to analyze the performance of a system for verifying compliance with an arms control treaty. Blue and Red are partners in to a treaty. Blue prefers to comply, but is uncertain whether Red similarly prefers compliance (in the absence of threatened violation detection)....

Modeling attacker-defender interactions in information networks.

Collins, Michael Joseph - 2011

The simplest conceptual model of cybersecurity implicitly views attackers and defenders as acting in isolation from one another: an attacker seeks to penetrate or disrupt a system that has been protected to a given level, while a defender attempts to thwart particular attacks. Such a model also...

Modeling Factions for 'Effects Based Operations': Part II Behavioral Game Theory

Silverman, Barry G; Bharathy, Gnana K; Nye, Benjamin; … - 2007

Military, diplomatic, and intelligence analysts are increasingly interested in having a valid system of models that span the social sciences and interoperate so that one can determine the effects that may arise from alternative operations (courses of action) in different lands. Part I of this...

Modeling and Simulating Terrorist Decision-making: A 'Performance Moderator Function' Approach to Generating Virtual Opponents

Weaver, Ransom; Silverman, Barry G.; Shin, Hogeun; … - 2001

An elusive goal in virtual training environments is to be able to dial up the opponent of choice – e.g., the Iraqi Republican Guard, an Hamas-type of Suicide Bomber, or the clandestine minions of Bin Laden, as a few examples. In researching alternative ways to offer such a "dial up"...
