Title: The study of the effect of equilibrium concepts on the analysis process and the results of the graph model for solving conflicts; in shared water resources issues
Abstract: Given the differences that have occurred between the water stakeholders at the internal and external levels of the countries, dtermining the method for solving the disputes over water resources is important. One of the ways of solving such differences is game theory, which can be used to model these issues. Also, one of the most powerful non-cooperative games theory that has recently been very much considered, the Graph Model for Solving Controversy (GMCR) is called. This approach is a coherent approach to analyzing the real world disputes, and it can be used to examine many different issues in the field of environmental engineering. The most important part of this method is balance analysis, which, after modeling the conflict, uses very complex mathematical relationships to determine the future of the conflict. In this study, four concepts of Nash equilibrium, GMR, SMR and SEQ equilibrium analysis in relation to water and environmental disputes modeling using GMCR + software have been evaluated. The result of the research suggests that considering the nature of the conflicts of exploitation of water resources and the environment, the mere use of Nash equilibrium will not result in consistent results with reality, since this concept of equilibrium is capable of analyzing single-player games. Also, the concept of GMR equilibrium is the most comprehensive analysis, but in terms of the number of moves, the concept of equilibrium SMR with the ability to analyze ۳ successive moves over the concepts of equilibrium is able to analyze the longer conflicts. In terms of players 'awareness of the competitors' strategy priorities, the concept of the equilibrium of the SEQ is appropriate for the controversy that players have the most complete and most cautious information.
