Jhatakia, Maanav (author)As the impact of climate change becomes increasingly urgent, conflicts over transboundary water resources have become more complex, particularly in light of the role of water in shaping socioeconomic and regional power dynamics. The challenge of optimizing objectives and strategic behavior across multiple stakeholders simultaneously makes it...master thesis 2023

Seferlis, Ilias (author)As Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) navigate through dynamic and constantly changing environments, it is crucial that they take into account the impact of their actions on the decisions of others for safe and efficient interaction with humans. In doing so, they need to anticipate how humans will behave in different situations based on their intentions....master thesis 2023

Li, Xinhong (author), Ma, Jie (author), Han, Ziyue (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Yang, M. (author)This paper presents a game theory methodology for risk management of urban natural gas pipelines, which is a collaborative participation mechanism of the stakeholders, including government, pipeline companies, and the public. Firstly, the involvement proportion of stakeholders in risk management under rational conditions is estimated by the...journal article 2023

Stein, Alexander (author), Salvioli, M. (author), Garjani, H. (author), Dubbeldam, J.L.A. (author), Viossat, Yannick (author), Brown, Joel S. (author), Staňková, K. (author)Stackelberg evolutionary game (SEG) theory combines classical and evolutionary game theory to frame interactions between a rational leader and evolving followers. In some of these interactions, the leader wants to preserve the evolving system (e.g. fisheries management), while in others, they try to drive the system to extinction (e.g. pest...journal article 2023

Swinkels, Bart (author)The "Number Hides Game" (NHG) is 2-player game played on a board that consists of a row of p consecutive coins. Player I and player II simultaneously choose subsets of m and n consecutive coins respectively. Player II pays the number of coins that lie in the intersection of the subsets to player I. This thesis introduces basic knowledge from the...bachelor thesis 2022

Zandee, Jonathan (author)The Game of Cycles, invented by Francis Su (2020, p.51) is an impartial game played on a graph, where players take turns marking an edge according to a set of rules. Together with the game, there also came a conjecture that gives a condition for whether a specific position is winning or losing. Proving or disproving this conjecture is the main...bachelor thesis 2022

van den Bent, Irene (author)Digital challenger banks in the UK retail banking industry have caused unprecedented Personal Current Account (PCA) market share changes at the cost of traditional banks. This loss in competitive position prompted traditional bank managers to reconsider the way they operate, resulting in the commoditization of digital services till date. Now,...master thesis 2022

Easa, Said (author), Raju, Narayana (author), Arkatkar, Shriniwas (author)Currently, the dilemma and option zones’ failures are independently used to analyze the intergreen interval at signalized intersections. Therefore, the present research work is initiated to integrate these failures. First, the dilemma and option zones are modelled using the first-order second-moment method. Then, game theory is used to model the...journal article 2022

Vreugdenhil, H.S.I. (author), Janssen, Stephanie (author), Hermans, L.M. (author), Slinger, J (author)The increasingly active role of stakeholders in the development of innovative nature-based solutions calls for appropriate instruments to support and realise added value from their involvement. In this paper we apply a newly developed instrument “Cooperation for Added Value” (Co-Add) to a study area on the Dutch coast. The instrument draws on...journal article 2022

Raja, A.A. (author), Grammatico, S. (author)In this article, we consider a sequence of transferable utility coalitional games, where the actual coalitional values are unknown but vary within known bounds. As a solution to the resulting family of games, we formalize the notion of 'robust core.' Our main contribution is to design two distributed algorithms, namely 1) distributed payoff...journal article 2022

Fabiani, Filippo (author), Tajeddini, Mohammad Amin (author), Kebriaei, Hamed (author), Grammatico, S. (author)We propose a two-layer, semi-decentralized algorithm to compute a local solution to the Stackelberg equilibrium problem in aggregative games with coupling constraints. Specifically, we focus on a single-leader, multiple follower problem, and after equivalently recasting the Stackelberg game as a mathematical program with complementarity...journal article 2022

LIU, ZIYI (author)With the penetration of distributed energy resources, peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is becoming a promising way to harmonize the decarbonization and decentralization transformations in the energy sector. P2P markets give peers the autonomy to make individual decisions and cooperative behaviors between the peers may emerge. However, existing...master thesis 2021

Ha, Deon (author)In this thesis report we consider a search and rescue problem in which one or multiple targets/objects are hidden in some playing field, and must be rescued/found by a searcher. The targets are for example: earthquake survivors, lost hikers or prisoners held by an adversary, and are hidden in some section of the play field. Searching any of the...master thesis 2021

Dijkstra, Jelle (author)This paper introduces the notion of infinite games, i.e., games in which two players take turns playing moves ad infinitum, so that player I wins if the sequence of moves is in a predetermined payoff set. Theorems are then provided about whether a player in such games can have a winning strategy. The first theorem, Gale-Stewart, shows that games...bachelor thesis 2021

Crompvoets, JPA (author)Over the past decade, a new concept for the power grid called the smart grid emerged, to enable two way energy transport and communication. With this new smart grid architecture many opportunities for control methods arise. While this can improve the efficiency of the power grid, all these methods require communication, which is a limited...master thesis 2021

Gismondi, Roberta (author)Decision-making dynamics and their impact of human behaviour have raised a large number of questions throughout the years. Traits like competition and collaboration amongst agents are often studied, in the context of Game Theory, by the medium of games such as the Iterative Prisoners’ Dilemma.Furthermore, many realistic scenarios and possible...bachelor thesis 2021

Timmermans, Raymond (author)This paper combines the concepts of noise and stability in the iterated prisoner's dilemma. The purpose is to find strategies that score well (have a high cooperation percentage) in a homogeneous noisy environment, but are also robust to invasions. Generally, strategies that perform best under noise are maximally forgiving, however,...bachelor thesis 2021

Cirikka, Selim (author)Protocols for Loanable Funds (PLFs) are lending protocols that exist in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. They provide users the opportunity of lending and borrowing of cryptocurrencies. The economic model used to ensure liquidity in these protocols are variable parameters and incentives to reach an optimal equilibrium and...bachelor thesis 2021
