Considering Equilibrium Accessibility in Conflict Resolution over Demolition Disputes

An innovative methodology named Equilibrium Accessibility Analysis based on modified Incentive Algorithm is presented for resolving two-decision maker demolition disputes. Incentive Algorithm is modified by taking into account the irreversible moves and path-dependent transitions. Thus, reachable is identified at the modeling stage, and the path generation step at analysis stage is modified. The major contribution of this research is the Equilibrium Accessibility Analysis, which considers whether the equilibriums are accessible. The systematic procedure of Equilibrium Accessibility Analysis is put forward, and five equilibrium accessibility definitions under five cases are proposed. Thus, equilibriums can be refined reasonably and effectively. A real-life demolition dispute is used to illustrate how this new methodology can be conveniently and effectively applied in practice.
