The paper explores matrix games with Rough Interval (RI) pay-offs and investigates two different solution methodologies. The first approach constructs auxiliary linear programming problems with RI coefficients and converts them into classical linear programming problems (LPPs). The second approach uses the expected value technique for RI to transform auxiliary mathematical programming models to crisp LPP. The applicability of these approaches is demonstrated through a case study on the telecom market share problem.
Rough interval (RI) is an appropriate generalization of the crisp interval and is very much useful to express uncertain parameters or partially unknown variables when they contain dual-layer information. In real-life problems, there are many situations where players of a matrix game cannot assess their pay-offs by using fuzzy sets/intuitionistic fuzzy sets or ordinary intervals. RIs are used as an excellent tool to handle such situations. This paper explores matrix games with RI pay-offs and investigates two different solution methodologies to solve such a game. In the first approach, a pair of auxiliary linear programming problems with RI coefficients for the players has been constructed. Then each of the two auxiliary programming problems is converted into two linear programming problems with interval coefficients (LPPICs) using lower and upper approximation intervals of the RI. Finally from each LPPIC, two classical linear programming problems (LPPs) are constructed. In the second approach, the expected value technique for RI is used for transforming auxiliary mathematical programming models under the RI environment to crisp LPP. A case study on the telecom market share problem is considered to show the applicability of the proposed approaches and results are compared and analyzed with an existing method.
