摘要: Recent theoretical studies have shown that a relaxation algorithm can be used to find noncooperative equilibria of synchronous infinite games with nonlinear payoff functions and coupled constraints. In this study, we introduce an improvement the algorithm, such as steepest-descent step-size control, for which convergence is proved. The then tested on several economic applications. particular, River Basin Pollution problem considered where environmental constraints are crucial relevant model definition. Numerical runs demonstrate fast wide range parameters.
