Game theory plays an important role in numerous decision-oriented real-life problems. Nowadays, many such problems are basically characterized by various uncertainties. Uncertainties come to happen due to decision makers' collection of data, intuition, assumption, judgement, behaviour, evaluation and lastly, due to the problem itself. Fuzzy concept with membership degree made an initialization towards the treatment of uncertainty, but it was not enough. Intuitionistic fuzzy concept was evolved concerning with both membership and non-membership degrees but failed to express reality more accurately. Then, neutrosophy logic was developed with a new degree in uncertainty, say, indeterminacy degree besides membership and non-membership degrees. Multi-objective optimization is an area of multiple-criteria decision making related with mathematical optimization problems involving more than one objective function to be optimized at the same time. Game theory (matrix game) problems with imprecise, vague information, like neutrosophic, can be formed with multiple objective functions. We develop and analyse a matrix game with multiple objectives, and solve the problem under a single-valued neutrosophic environment in linguistic approach. The main achievement of our study is that we here introduce a problem-oriented example to justify our designed methodologies with a successful real-life implications using linguistic neutrosophic data rather than crisp data as used in previous researches.

Using Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Auction Simulations
Kanmaz, Medet; Sürer, Elif (2020-04-01)
Game theory has been developed by scientists as a theory of strategic interaction among players who are supposed to be perfectly rational. These strategic interactions might have been presented in an auction, a business negotiation, a chess game, or even in a political conflict aroused between different agents. In this study, the strategic (rational) agents created by reinforcement learning algorithms are supposed to be bidder agents in various types of auction mechanisms such as British Auction, Sealed Bid...
Conceptualizing and understanding the contemporary popularity of conspiracy theories : re-thinking Karl Popper
Nefes, Türkay; Akçalı, Pınar; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2005)
This thesis attempts to understand and conceptualize the contemporary popularity of conspiracy theories. While doing this, conspiracy theories are approached as symptoms of current society. Moreover, the issue of what peculiar characteristics of contemporary society are responsible from conspiracy theories has been discussed. Heretofore, the concept of conspiracy theory is defined and its dangerous traits such as, being anti-scientific knowledge types and their ability to be used by fundamentalist ideologie...
Inventory control under substitutable demand: A stochastic game application
Avşar, Zeynep Müge (Wiley, 2002-06-01)
Substitutable product inventory problem is analyzed using the concepts of stochastic game theory. It is assumed that there are two substitutable products that are sold by different retailers and the demand for each product is random. Game theoretic nature of this problem is the result of substitution between products. Since retailers compete for the substitutable demand, ordering decision of each retailer depends on the ordering decision of the other retailer. Under the discounted payoff criterion, this pro...
Machine learning methods for opponent modeling in games of imperfect information
Şirin, Volkan; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2012)
This thesis presents a machine learning approach to the problem of opponent modeling in games of imperfect information. The efficiency of various artificial intelligence techniques are investigated in this domain. A sequential game is called imperfect information game if players do not have all the information about the current state of the game. A very popular example is the Texas Holdem Poker, which is used for realization of the suggested methods in this thesis. Opponent modeling is the system that enabl...
Cooperative grey games and the grey Shapley value
PALANCI, Osman; PALANCI, Osman; Ergun, S.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2015-08-03)
This contribution is located in the common area of operational research and economics, with a close relation and joint future potential with optimization: game theory. We focus on collaborative game theory under uncertainty. This study is on a new class of cooperative games where the set of players is finite and the coalition values are interval grey numbers. An interesting solution concept, the grey Shapley value, is introduced and characterized with the properties of additivity, efficiency, symmetry and d...
