Military Applications and Sensitivity Analysis of Coupling Game Management

Coupling game theory can be used to formulate cases "lying between" non-cooperative games and cooperative games and it can provide more reasonable control strategies for players. Traditional Transferable Utility TU) cooperative games, non-cooperative games, and two-person zero-sum games are special cases of coupling game. This paper describes military applications of a coupling game. Approaches to determine coupling factors in a coupling game are discussed. Sensitivity functions about coupling factors are provided. UAV experiments confirm the benefits of applying coupling game theory in non-ideal complex military situations.
