The Power Allocation Game on A Network: Computation Issue
In this paper two algorithms with the goal of generating the equilibrium set of the power allocation game first developed in allocation are proposed. Based on the first algorithm, the geometric property of the pure strategy Nash equilibrium set will be proven to be a collection of convex polytopes. The second, simulation-based, algorithm is developed to overcome the shortcoming of the first algorithm in terms of generating the equilibrium set efficiently and then making policy-relevant predictions based on the set. The second algorithm will be usefully applied to a real-world case study, which draws on the current crisis between North Korea and certain key players including the US and China.
