Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Strategic interaction analysis and logical and computational analysis can clarify each other. Therefore, it is interesting to promote research that provides illuminating answers, as well as offers insights at the interface of game theory and mathematical logic.

This Special Issue aims to make visible the state of the art today in logic and game theory by highlighting research on key issues.

The proposed articles should illuminate problems related to both logic and game theory and ideally address the widest possible audience. 

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: 

  • Model games for formal language;
  • Beliefs in game theoretical analysis;
  • Equilibrium checking;
  • Concurrent games;
  • Logic and game theory. 

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The distributed training of federated machine learning, referred to as federated learning (FL), is discussed in models by multiple participants using local data without compromising data privacy and violating laws. In this paper, we consider the training of federated machine models with uncertain participation attitudes and uncertain benefits of each federated participant, and to encourage all participants to train the desired FL models, we design a fuzzy Shapley value incentive mechanism with supervision. In this incentive mechanism, if the supervision of the supervised mechanism detects that the payoffs of a federated participant reach a value that satisfies the Pareto optimality condition, the federated participant receives a distribution of federated payoffs. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate that the mechanism successfully achieves a fair and Pareto optimal distribution of payoffs. The contradiction between fairness and Pareto-efficient optimization is solved by introducing a supervised mechanism. Full article

A Discrete Characterization of the Solvability of Equilibrium Problems and Its Application to Game Theory
by Maria Isabel Berenguer, Domingo Gámez, Ana Isabel Garralda-Guillem and Manuel Ruiz Galán

Abstract
We state a characterization of the existence of equilibrium in terms of certain finite subsets under compactness and transfer upper semicontinuity conditions. In order to derive some consequences on game theory—Nash equilibrium and minimax inequalities—we introduce a weak convexity concept. Full article

Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning framework that can effectively help multiple players to use data to train federated models while complying with their privacy, data security, and government regulations. Due to federated model training, an accurate model should be trained, and all federated players should actively participate. Therefore, it is crucial to design an incentive mechanism; however, there is a conflict between fairness and Pareto efficiency in the incentive mechanism. In this paper, we propose an incentive mechanism via the combination of the Shapley value and Pareto efficiency optimization, in which a third party is introduced to supervise the federated payoff allocation. If the payoff can reach Pareto optimality, the federated payoff is allocated by the Shapley value method; otherwise, the relevant federated players are punished. Numerical and simulation experiments show that the mechanism can achieve fair payoff allocation and Pareto optimality payoff allocation. The Nash equilibrium of this mechanism is formed when Pareto optimality payoff allocation is achieved. Full article

In this paper, we propose a characteristic function of the maxmax defensive-equilibrium representation that maps every TU-game with strategies to a TU-game. This characteristic function is given by a two-step procedure in which each of any two complementary coalitions successively selects the equilibrium in a way that maximizes its utility. We then investigate the properties of this characteristic function and present the relations of the cores under three characteristic functions. Finally, as applications of our findings, we provide a firm production advertising game, a supply chain network game, a cost game with strategies, and a Cournot game. Full article

In this paper, we try to study a class of biform games with the coalition function from the cooperation of players. For this purpose, we interpret the biform games as cooperative games by defining a characteristic function of minimax representation based on the coalition function and giving the core and Shapley value as cooperative solutions. The relations between the coalition function and the characteristic function are investigated in terms of additivity and convexity, and the properties associated with the characteristic function, such as individual rationalities and cores, are compared with the corresponding results. The relations among the solutions of the normal-form game, biform game, and cooperative game are discussed with several examples. Full article

In this paper we generalize the allocation rule (point solution or value) known as the mixed value by introducing the weighted mixed value.The proposed solution assigns value in graph games where players, and/or links, have weights representing asymmetries of the players, and different flows, lengths, emotional intensities, trust in the transmission of the information, etc. in the links. We present several characterizations of this value using properties, such as mixed component efficiency, weighted mixed fairness, weighted balanced contributions and weighted balanced link contributions. These properties were inspired by the classical properties used to characterize the Myerson value and the position value. Full article
