Cover Story: The article "Vulnerability and Defence: A Case for Stackelberg Game Dynamics" explores strategic interactions between opposing entities in military operations through game theory. By applying the principles of Stackelberg equilibrium and backward induction, it models these interactions as a sequential game, with one side leading and the other responding. This paper provides insights into optimizing both offensive and defensive strategies, demonstrating how modern conflicts reflect dynamic decision-making. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding the interplay between rational actors in military settings, presenting a compelling case for applying game theory to real-world defence scenarios.

This work studies the Hotelling game with sequential choice of prices, that is, the Stackelberg–Hotelling (SHOT) game. The game is studied through numerical simulation, which provides the subgame perfect equilibrium solution not only in the unr...

Weapon target assignment is a critical challenge in military contexts. Traditionally, commanding officers manually decide weapon assignments, but the problem’s complexity has grown over time. To address this, automated systems have been introdu...

I consider a class of dynamic Bayesian games in which types evolve stochastically according to a first-order Markov process on a continuous type space. Types are privately informed, but they become public together with actions when payoffs are obtain...

We start from the fundamental premise that any physical interaction can be interpreted as a game. To demonstrate this, we draw upon the free energy principle and the theory of quantum reference frames. In this way, we place the game-theoretic Nash Eq...
