Abstract
In this paper, we concentrate on a new class of fuzzy multi-leader-multi-follower games with fuzzy set payoffs, abbreviated as FMLMFG, which is a fuzzy extension of the classical multi-leader-multi-follower games. First, we propose the concept of fuzzy weak Nash equilibrium (FWNE) for FMLMFG based on fuzzy sets and study the existence of FWNE. Subsequently, we formulate the bounded rationality model for FMLMFG by integrating a rationality function and study the generalized unified well-posedness (GU-wp) and unified well-posedness (U-wp). Moreover, we demonstrate the characteristics of GU-wp and U-wp for FMLMFG by utilizing the Kuratowski measure of non-compactness.
期刊介绍:
Since its launching in 1978, the journal Fuzzy Sets and Systems has been devoted to the international advancement of the theory and application of fuzzy sets and systems. The theory of fuzzy sets now encompasses a well organized corpus of basic notions including (and not restricted to) aggregation operations, a generalized theory of relations, specific measures of information content, a calculus of fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy sets are also the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling: fuzzy rule-based systems. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines as well as modern technologies.
In mathematics fuzzy sets have triggered new research topics in connection with category theory, topology, algebra, analysis. Fuzzy sets are also part of a recent trend in the study of generalized measures and integrals, and are combined with statistical methods. Furthermore, fuzzy sets have strong logical underpinnings in the tradition of many-valued logics.
