Fitting functional response surfaces to data: a best practice guide

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Describing how resource consumption rates depend on resource density, conventionally termed “functional responses,” is crucial to understanding the population dynamics of trophically interacting organisms.

Distributed Reconfiguration for Resilient Synchronization of Multi-Agent Systems

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
The performance in output synchronization in multi-agent systems (MAS) can degrade in the presence of misbehaving agents that are affected by external attacker actions that try to desynchronize the system.

Solving quadratic multi-leader-follower games by smoothing the follower's best response [PDF]

open access: yesOptim. Methods Softw., 2018
We analyse the existence of Nash equilibria for a class of quadratic multi-leader-follower games using the nonsmooth best response function. To overcome the challenge of nonsmoothness, we pursue a smoothing approach resulting in a reformulation as a ...

Best-Response Cycles in Perfect Information Games [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics of Operations Research, 2015
We consider n-player perfect information games with payoff functions having a finite image. We do not make any further assumptions, so in particular we refrain from making assumptions on the cardinality or the topology of the set of actions and assumptions like continuity or measurability of payoff functions.

Incentive-Based Control of Asynchronous Best-Response Dynamics on Binary Decision Networks

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, 2019
Various populations of interacting decision-making agents can be modeled by asynchronous best-response dynamics or, equivalently, linear threshold dynamics.

Relative Best Response Dynamics in finite and convex Network Games

open access: yesIEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2019
Motivated by theoretical and experimental economics, we propose novel evolutionary dynamics for games on networks, called the h-Relative Best Response (h–RBR) dynamics, that mixes the relative performance considerations of imitation dynamics with the ...

Evolutionary Network Games: Equilibria from Imitation and Best Response Dynamics

open access: yesComplexity, 2017
We consider games of strategic substitutes and complements on networks and introduce two evolutionary dynamics in order to refine their multiplicity of equilibria.

A regulatory arbitrage game: Off-balance-sheet leverage and financial fragility

open access: yesJournal of Mechanism and Institution Design, 2022
This study examines a simple banking system in a game-theoretic framework wherein banks act as self-interested agents to maximize leverage at the expense of overall financial stability.

Random responding from participants is a threat to the validity of social science research results

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
Research in the social sciences often relies upon the motivation and goodwill of research participants (e.g., teachers, students, minimally-compensated volunteers) to do their best on low stakes assessments of the effects of interventions.
