It is found that, even under the same payoff structure, the results of the coevolution of weak monopolists and entrants are sensitive to the representationof the decisionmaking process. Two representations are studied in this paper. One is the actionbased representation and the other the strategybased representation. The former is to represent a naive mind and the latter is to capture a sophisticated mind. For the actionbased representation, the convergence results are easily obtained and predatory pricing is only temporary in all simulations. However, for the strategybased representation, predatory pricing is not a rare phenomenon and its appearance is cyclical but not regular. Therefore, the snowball effect of a little craziness observed in the experimental game theory wins its support from this representation. Furthermore, the nature of predatory pricing has something to do with the evolution of the sophisticated rather than the naive minds.展开更多

The algorithm research is one of the main problems of the EIT. This paper presents the MPSO-MNR Algorithm, which is formed by combining the Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) with Modified Newton-Raphson algorithm (MNR), gives the reconstruction results of certain configurations and analyzes the influence of the noise on the MPSO-MNR algorithm in the EIT. The numerical results show that the MPSO-MNR algorithm can reconstruct the resistivity distribution within the certain iterations. With the moving of the target to the centre of 2-D solution domain and the increase of noise, the border of the reconstruction objects becomes vague, and the fitness value and the total error increase gradually.展开更多

The impedance distribution reconstruction in EIT is a nonlinear inverse problem that requires the use of a regularization method. The generalized Tikhonov regularization methods are often used in solving inverse problems. However, for EIT image reconstruction, the generalized Tikhonov regularization methods may lose the boundary information due to its smoothing operation. In this paper, we propose an iterative Lavrentiev regularization and L-curve-based algorithm to reconstruct EIT images. The regularization parameter should be carefully chosen, but it is often heuristically selected in the conventional regularization-based reconstruction algorithms. So, an L-curve-based optimization algorithm is used for selecting the Lavrentiev regularization parameter. Numerical analysis and simulation results are performed to illustrate EIT image reconstruction. It is shown that choosing the appropriate regularization parameter plays an important role in reconstructing EIT images.展开更多
