In this work, aiming to enhance network automation and service fairness, we formulate a stackelberg game for flexible service provisioning in an IP over elastic optical network (IP-over-EON). In the proposed game, the service provider is the leader and maximizes its revenue by pricing the lightpaths in the EON layer and changing their capacities adaptively, while the incoming requests are the followers...

In this paper, we study Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for future Smart Cities. We propose a new type of Automated Highway System (AHS), which optimizes both total consumed energy and travel time. We build on our previous work by adapting it to ITS as a new class of games, which is Mean Field (MF) Multilayer Stackelberg Games (MSG). In this game model, a leader (Control Center) imposes its...
For time critical updates, it is desirable to maintain the freshness of the received information. We address the impact of hostile interference on information freshness by formulating a non-zero-sum two-player game, in which one player is the transmitter aiming to maintain the freshness of the information updates it sends to its receiver, and the other player is the interferer aiming to prevent this...
The endeavor to develop 5G technology aims to support the recent outstanding mobile data traffic growth. In this regard, mobile network providers will be able to leverage on cloud edge-caching to offer services with enhanced quality of experience on the move. By this technology, dedicated cache space of mobile networks can be provisioned to OTT content providers, e.g., over metropolitan areas covered...
Crowdsourcing has been an inspiration of effectively integrating the power of the crowd. Lots of current contributions on crowdsourcing focus only on the competition between the worker and the requester on resource allocation. However, most of these works lacked attention to the cooperation between the worker and requester. In this paper, we take into consideration the competition-cooperation coexisting...
The mobile nodes in delay tolerant networks communicate with each other using a store-carry and forward mechanism even though there is no permanent link between the source and the destination. This mechanism requires cooperation between nodes. However, because of limited resources such as storage and energy, most of the nodes act in a non-cooperative way. In this paper, an incentive mechanism is proposed...
We develop mathematical models of linear discrete optimal and Stackelberg processes with echoes and retroactive future as an extensions and development of Pareto-Nash-Stackel-berg control u2. Investigated problems are solved by straightforward method and Pontryagin's principle. Wolfram Mathematica applications illustrate the value of the obtained results.
We are concerned with a product portfolio management problem in which a firm wants to enter a competitive market by offering new products where there are existing products belonging to a competitor. The objective of the new entrant firm is to find out an optimal product portfolio that maximizes its expected shared surplus. The market incumbent firm can react by adjusting its existing product portfolio...
Global supply chain management has an important role for globalization of marketplaces and global production. The production and distribution planning for suppliers and retailers with different objectives should be coordinated to minimize the total costs. However, it is well-known that the equilibrium solution for decentralized decision making is inferior to the solution of centralized problem. This...
Video chat is a power and rate-intensive application which requires efficient resource utilization. Unlike video streaming which is generally one way, video chats characterize distributed two way traffics relayed via base stations. In this paper, we propose a distributed rate and power allocation framework for joint coding and transmission in wireless video chats. The base station imposes a service...
In this paper we investigate a cooperative jamming (CJ) strategy based Stackelberg security game to improve physical layer security over multiuser OFDMA networks. Each source node tries to deliver messages to its intended destination node securely in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. Fortunately, these node pairs can resort to a friendly jammer to enhance their communication. But the jamming...
Modeling competition in the future European Electricity Market (EEM) suggests considering new perspectives of leadership between the participant generators. EEM models should then be able to represent the possible existence of leaders and followers, and Conjectural Stackelberg equilibriums could be a powerful approach to do so. These asymmetric equilibriums can represent several types of competitive...
The interaction between a smart target and a smart MIMO radar is investigated from a game theory perspective. Since the target and the radar form an adversarial system, their interaction is modeled as a two-person zero-sum game. The mutual information criterion is used to formulate the utility functions. The unilateral, hierarchical, and symmetric games are studied, and the equilibria solutions are...
In the paper, Stackelberg games are investigated for large population multi-agent systems involving a major agent and a large number of minor agents. In each stage of the game, the major agent first makes decisions, and then all minor agents give strategies simultaneously. A set of centralized Stackelberg equilibrium strategy is first provided, and then, by the mean field approach and the brute force...
In this paper, we investigate a four terminal Gaussian network which is composed of a destination, a source, an eavesdropper and a friendly relay which helps the source to increase the secrecy capacity. We introduce a game theoretic approach in which the source pays the relay for increasing the secrecy capacity. The relay charges the source with a certain price, and there is a tradeoff for the price...
Future cellular networks are facing crucial architecture changes to cope with high throughput, energy and cost-efficiency demands. Emerging solutions are small-cells and femto-cells which will coexist with classical macro-cells technology. In these heterogeneous networks, we study the joint service pricing and bandwidth allocation problem at the operator level. Each user selfishly adopts the service...
The coal mine's undertakings in Poland have very complicated structure to managing. Therefore decision making problems in the planning and controlling of the necessaries materials are inadequate recognized. Mathematical modeling of the mining processes are today's privilege concerning of rock mass and similar problems. Application of the mathematical modeling to decision making problems in Polish...
This paper extends the defensive location problem (DLP), proposed by Uno and Katagiri, considering the situations that the defender locates defensive facilities for preventing invaders from reaching some important vertices in a network. Their DLPs assumed that invaders, with a given energy, exist on a given vertex in it. On the other hand, this paper considers a new DLP that invaders' sites and energies...
Agriculture service network is a very popular pattern for a local government to integrate regional agriculture supply chains. Based on the cooperation characteristics of Long Shang-Xing (LSX) agriculture service network established by Jingzhou TV station, a theoretical model was provided to explore the optimal decision of LSX platform and the agents in the service network. The analytical results deduced...
