Simulation of multi-agent interaction between mobile operators and users

Abstract

Abstract Game-theoretic models for two classes of players are considered in this paper. The first class will consist of mobile operators, who, based on information about competitors’ actions, will plan changes in prices for services. The second class will consist of dedicated user cohorts who, depending on the current situation, will plan their actions, namely, change or not change the operator. The presented models solve the problem of maximizing the income of mobile operators and minimizing the cost of communication by users. A turn-based game is considered where a possible strategy for a first-class player will be considered a non-zero price vector for the provided communication services. A possible strategy for a second-class player will be considered the sequence of choosing a mobile operator for each of the services. The payoff function of both classes players will be built at each stage. According to the winnings, there is a compromise solution for different classes of players.
