Design of price mechanisms for network resource allocation via price of anarchy

, 2012
We study the design of price mechanisms for communication network problems in which a user's utility depends on the amount of flow she sends through the network, and the congestion on each link depends on the total traffic flows over it.

Resource allocation games of various social objectives [PDF]

In this paper, we study resource allocation games of two different cost components for individual game players and various social costs. The total cost of each individual player consists of the congestion cost, which is the same for all players sharing ...

The price of anarchy in series-parallel graphs [PDF]

, 2020
Congestion games model self-interested agents competing for resources in communication networks. The price of anarchy quantifies the deterioration in performance in such games compared to the optimal solution.

Model Validation and Strategy Analysis in Retrial Queues with Delayed Vacations and Feedback Based on Monte Carlo Simulation

Mathematics
Inspired by call centers, this paper models them as a constant retrial queue, with feedback and delayed vacations to balance high efficiency and low cost for service agents. After completing the service, the server randomly waits for an idle period.

Data-Driven Traffic Assignment Through Density-Based Road-Specific Congestion Function Estimation

IEEE Access
The ability to build accurate traffic assignment models on large-scale major road networks is essential for effective infrastructure planning. Static traffic assignment models often utilize standard formulations of congestion functions which suffer from ...

Anarchy, Groups, and Conflict: An Experiment on the Emergence of Protective Associations [PDF]

In this paper, we investigate the implications of the philosophical considerations presented in Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia, by examining group formation in a laboratory setting where subjects engage in both cooperative and conflictual ...

On the Effect of Time Preferences on the Price of Anarchy

This paper examines the impact of agents' myopic optimization on the efficiency of systems comprised by many selfish agents. In contrast to standard congestion games where agents interact in a one-shot fashion, in our model each agent chooses an infinite sequence of actions and maximizes the total reward stream discounted over time under different ways

User centric multimodal urban transportation network equilibrium including intermodality and shared mobility services

European Transport Research Review
Shared Mobility Services (SMSs) are transforming urban transportation systems by offering flexible travel options. These services, which help reduce the number of cars on the roads, have the potential to enhance the transportation system’s performance ...
