Abstract

We consider a differential game of fisheries in a fan-like control structure of the type “supervisor—several agents”. The dynamics of the controlled system is described by a non-linear differential equation model which is identified on the Azov Sea data. An averaging by two spatial coordinates is conducted. Different information structures of the game are generated by the control methods of compulsion (supervisor restricts the feasible strategies of agents) and impulsion (she exerts an impact to their payoff functionals). Both Stackerlberg and inverse Stackelberg games are considered. For the numerical investigation we use a discretization of the initial model and the method of qualitatively representative scenarios in simulation modeling.

Summary

Introduction and Related Work

The models of optimal exploitation of water biological resources have been investigated since the middle of the last century [1,2], in the frame of sustainability science [3,4] and viability theory [5]. The authors’ approach to the modeling of fisheries is based on the concept of sustainable management [34,35,36] In this frame, the hierarchical control mechanisms (compulsion and impulsion methods) are presented as solutions of the Stackelberg games with phase constraints which reflect the requirements to the state of a controlled system (the conditions of sustainable development). Defined by a system of six partial differential equations in parabolic partial derivatives in the region G that represents a closed basin bounded by an undisturbed surface of the body of water, the bed, and cylindrical surface, for the time interval 0 ≤ t ≤ T [24,25,26,27,29] Extending this model, we construct a hierarchical differential game of two players with the leader (the supervisory body of the fishing service) and the follower (a fishing company). If the supervisor violates it a penalty is imposed with coefficient H
