Payoff distribution in robust coalitional games on time-varying networks

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...

Performance of Strategies for the Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma in a Natural Environment

In nature, all species have their own behaviors and strategies for survival. Some species survive and reproduce, while others become extinct. This paper proposes a model to simulate these strategies and test their performance. Natural behavior is represented as strategies for the iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD). Agents wielding one of ten...
