Cooperative Game-Theoretic Analysis of the Collaborative Strategy in Inter-University Coalitions: A Case Study of Japanese Women’s Universities

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the multidimensional characteristics of Japanese universities and construct a cooperative strategy model based on cooperative game theory under geographic and institutional constraints. Weighted scores were computed, complementarity and coalition value were defined, and a coalition value function incorporating friction costs was formulated under four constraint scenarios. The empirical analysis based on 45 private women’s universities confirmed the model stability and interpretability. Core universities consistently emerged as coalition centers. Although the constraint altered the network density and coalition composition, the overall ranking of the cooperative value remained unchanged. In conclusion, the framework demonstrated a mathematically operational cooperative strategy that provided computational guidance for sustaining the social role of universities.

Optimal coalition structures in supply chains: a cooperative game approach to economic lot-sizing in emerging markets

Building coalitions among autonomous entities with conflicting performance, beliefs, and capabilities is one of the most significant challenges in multi-agent systems. Optimal set partitioning of the players to maximise social welfare and distribute the cooperation payoff are two main research streams in this context....

An Agent-Based Model of Cooperation and Competition in Organizational Systems

This study proposes a game-theoretic agent-based model to investigate cooperation and competition in workplace environments. The iterated prisoner’s dilemma is implemented on a two-dimensional lattice, where agents interact locally and accumulate wealth over time. Two types of agents are considered: fixed probabilistic...

Cooperative behavior strategies of prosumers in an integrated centralized–distributed energy system

The study aims to develop principles for forming coalitions of prosumers within an integrated energy system for efficient energy supply, substantiate the rules governing their interaction, and create a transparent mechanism for distributing joint gains among coalition participants. To this end, modeling was performed u...

Utility-Driven Cooperation and Emergent Group Diversity in the N-Player Stag Hunt Game: A Framework Relevant to Collective Biological Behavior.

The coordination dilemma inherent in the N-player Stag Hunt game provides a powerful framework for studying the emergence of cooperation in social and biological systems. Traditional analyses of this game emphasize the tension between individual risk aversion and collective benefit. In this study, we extend the classic...
