Coalitional Games for Downlink Multicell Beamforming

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
A coalitional game is proposed for multicell multi-user downlink beamforming. Each base station intends to minimize its transmission power while aiming to attain a set of target signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) for its users.

Complexity of Deliberative Coalition Formation

open access: yesProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2022
Elkind et al. (AAAI'21) introduced a model for deliberative coalition formation, where a community wishes to identify a strongly supported proposal from a space of alternatives, in order to change the status quo. In their model, agents and proposals are points in a metric space, agents' preferences are determined by distances, and agents deliberate by ...

Altruism in coalition formation games

open access: yesAnnals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 2023
AbstractNguyen et al. (2016) introduced altruistic hedonic games in which agents’ utilities depend not only on their own preferences but also on those of their friends in the same coalition. We propose to extend their model to coalition formation games in general, considering also the friends in other coalitions.

Coalition Formation with Bounded Coalition Size

open access: yes, 2023
In many situations when people are assigned to coalitions, the utility of each person depends on the friends in her coalition. Additionally, in many situations, the size of each coalition should be bounded. This paper studies such coalition formation scenarios in both weighted and unweighted settings.

A multi-responsibility–oriented coalition formation framework for dynamic task allocation in mobile–distributed multi-agent systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2018
In this article, we study a problem of dynamic task allocation with multiple agent responsibilities in distributed multi-agent systems. Agents in the research have two responsibilities, communication and task execution.
