Research on decision-making behavior of multi-agent alliance in cross-border electricity market environment: an evolutionary game by Zhao Luo, Chenming Dong, Xinrui Dai, Hua Wang, Guihong Bi, Xin Shen

“…This study considers multiple neighboring countries in the form of alliances, introduces neighboring countries’ exchange rates into the cross-border multi-agent power-trading market and proposes a method to study each agent’s dynamic decision-making behavior based on evolutionary game theory. To this end, this study uses three national agents as examples, constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model, and analyzes the evolution process of the decision-making behavior of each agent member state under the initial willingness value, cost of payment, and additional revenue of the alliance. …”

A multifactor coupled rarly-warning model for pipeline landslide hazards based on the dynamic evolutionary process of disaster by Sen WU, Dexu QI, Hu LI, Yu LAN, Jiang LI, Mingzhi SUN

“…Based on the analysis of the dynamic evolutionary process of pipeline landslide hazards, this study proposes four stages of pipeline landslide hazards: (1) rainfall on the landslide leads to surface infiltration; (2) the groundwater level rises increasing the slope self-weight increases and reducing the geotechnical parameter; (3) the slope has undergone local deformation; (4) the landslide slides entirely and threatens pipeline safety. …”
