To my dear wife Keltoum. I would like to thank her for tolerating my absence and numerous trips. I am playing with her a cooperative game. To my two sons Anis and Chahine always playing a Stackelberg game. Every time that I saw your smile it lights me up inside. To my two daughters Besma and Lea, you are my sweet girls. To my mother Zehour for her infinite sacrifice, and my father Ammar who continue to support me in my academic research. God bless all of you.
