Improving the Price of Anarchy for Selfish Routing via Coordination Mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We reconsider the well-studied Selfish Routing game with affine latency functions. The Price of Anarchy for this class of games takes maximum value 4/3; this maximum is attained already for a simple network of two parallel links, known as Pigou's network.
