Item Some game-theoretic considerations in energy problems(1976) Edmonds, Hobart John; Thrall, Robert M.This thesis is concerned with two independent gaming formulations. The first deals with the grand strategy space for the United States in a global energy game. The individual elements of this space are cataloged, with subsequent discussion of possible payoffs and difficulties in choosing the strategy options. Detection games are a wide class of formulations which can include certain energy conflict scenarios, A detection game constructed by another author, written with a military scenario, is examined in detail. Minimax results are sought for the detection problem, and the partial failure to derive minimax strategies in the initial formulation discussed.
