The fundamental concept of game theory is the so-called Nash equilibrium, from John Nash [183]. Suppose there is a state ∏∗={s1∗,…,sN∗} where the ith player is adopting the strategy si∗∈Si. If that state is such that every agent is playing the best of his response to...
Game theory can be classified into two types:cooperativeandnoncooperative.In the field of reliability, the players innoncooperative gamescould be consumers, factories, retail networks, regulatory agencies, etc. Each player is assumed to act rationally to maximize its profit or minimize its effort. ...

In the theory of the game, different methods are used for finding equilibrium with help of rationality concept and one of these methods is the best response function (McCarty and Meirowitz, 2007; Bu et al., 2017). Based on the definition of the best response function, equilibrium is a poi...
To answer our question, we take a “random games” approach: we determine whether the best-response dynamic converges to a pure Nash equilibrium in a game drawn at random from among all possible games. The random games approach has a long history in game theory (since Goldman 1957; Goldberg...
Usinggame theory, real-world scenarios for such situations as pricing competition and product releases (and many more) can be laid out and their outcomes predicted. Companies that use (and stick to) this device to determine theNash Equilibriumsee a huge benefit in their budgeting strategies. ...
How to understand and model the spatial collective decision-making behaviors in the evolutionary game context is an open problem, which attracts burgeoning interdisciplinary studies in the fields of graph theory and evolutionary game theory. This is a newly emerging research topic with wide applications...
simplifies analysis. In addition, according to known general results on the convergence of evolution dynamics to Nash equilibria in a potential game, our formulation provides a tractable model on behavioural dynamics in social networks that needs only conventional techniques from evolutionary game theory....
Easley and Kleinberg pursue an interdisciplinary approach discussing game theory, repeated and evolutionary game theory as well as graph theory and applying the field of games on networks to a number of social, economic, and technical fields. – Martin A. Nowak (2006) Evolutionary Dynamics: Explori...
that a self-enforcing theory advising players how to play should prescribe a Nash equilibrium in every game. Nash (1950), however, provided also a second interpretation of his concept. When the game is played repeatedly by myopic players who best respond against the current situation, then, if...
