Summary: This article proposes a peer-to-peer transactive multiresource trading framework for multiple multienergy microgrids, addressing the optimization problem of multiple resources and independent decision-makings. The methodology developed can optimize communication and energy flows through Nash bargaining problem and decomposition, showing superiority in system operational economy and resource utilization.

Summary: This study examines the uniqueness of bargaining equilibrium between two sellers and two buyers, and finds that the equilibrium is reached when the division of two pies is equal. This result can be extended to bargaining games with n-sellers and n-buyers, providing insights into the general equilibrium of a market.

Summary: This study introduces two novel bi-level hybrid game models, and finds that the cooperative model performs better in terms of system reliability and fairness, although it may slightly reduce economic and social benefits. The developed CHG can provide optimal water scheduling schemes to balance regional water conflicts and improve the overall welfare of a multi-function reservoir system.

Summary: This study proposes a model specifically designed for simulating a comprehensive water reservoir system under the WFE nexus. The model uses Python programming language and considers the important interactions between water sub-systems. It can interact with the food and energy sub-systems, and simulate various aspects of water resources such as evaporation, river routing, groundwater, reservoir operation rule, surface water, and groundwater exchange.

Summary: This study proposes a Nash bargaining model to solve a novel multi-period competitive portfolio optimization problem for large investors in the stock market. Various factors such as transaction costs, risk-free assets, and cash are considered, and criteria like value at risk are used to control investment risk. An algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization is customized to overcome common constraints between players in stock markets. Results show that trading volume significantly affects competitors' terminal wealth, and profitability is inversely related to investors' risk aversion.

Summary: This paper proposes an analytic solution, called exact computation of the sequential NBS (ECS-NBS), for resource management in autonomous driving services. By designing a transformation matrix that captures changes in utility sets, the NBS can be accurately computed without iterations, ensuring efficient resource allocation to multiple vehicles.

Summary: In this study, the axiomatic Nash bargaining approach is applied to evaluate its normative implications in the context of interregional water sharing. The findings suggest that the Nash bargaining solution is generally unfeasible for sharing surplus water supplies generated by a water development project, except for specific conditions.

Summary: Karachi, known as the city of lights, is the financial and industrial center of Pakistan, contributing 12-15 percent to the country's GDP. However, with its population growth, the city is facing a serious water shortage issue. The current unequal water distribution has led to water scarcity and riots in some areas.

Summary: The competition and disputes between different water sectors and environmental flow in the Yellow River basin have intensified due to rapid economic growth and limited water resources availability in recent decades. Rational and effective water management and allocation are necessary to alleviate water shortage pressure. When allocating water resources, consideration should be given to the river environmental system and different human needs to promote economic development and maintain ecological balance.

Summary: This work addresses the problem of optimal resource allocation for federated learning over wireless edge-networks in the context of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The proposed solution, FedBarg, utilizes game theory and utility theory to find the optimal solutions. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of FedBarg compared to existing benchmarks.

Summary: This paper studies individual consumption in different types of households, with a focus on family structures that are common in developing countries. The methodology developed in the paper allows for identification of intra-household resource allocation and the extent of joint consumption. The findings highlight the existence of intra-household consumption inequality and substantial economies of scale in consumption in Mexico but not in Bangladesh.

Summary: The study examines the energy, environmental, and economic (E3) efficiency in fossil fuel exporting countries during 2015-2017. The DEA approach shows different efficiency performances in each country, while the Nash bargaining game-DEA model ranks China, Oman, and others as top performers and Gabon, Saudi Arabia, and others as low performers. The second model is considered more suitable for ranking due to its unique solution.

Summary: This research identifies surface water-related risks from shale gas development in mountainous areas as water shortage and water pollution. It constructs a water risk assessment method based on dangers, exposures, and vulnerabilities, and applies it in Chongqing, China. The results show mainly low and relatively low levels of risks covering 60% of the area, with a spatial difference of west > northeast > southeast areas.

Summary: A simulation model based on system dynamics was proposed for managing sludge in water treatment plants. The model is applicable to the sludge management of a sanitation system. It helps select the best destination for the sludge generated in treatment plants, taking into account the changes in the operation of the sanitation system. The model's applicability was tested in a case study of water treatment plants and a wastewater treatment plant in Campinas, Brazil.
