Coalition formation under uncertainty
2007
Proceedings of the 6th international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems - AAMAS '07
Coalition formation is a problem of great interest in AI, allowing groups of autonomous, rational agents to form stable teams. ...
However, research to date in both AI and economics has largely ignored the potential presence of uncertainty when studying either coalitional stability or coalitional bargaining. ...
Coalition formation can be abstracted into a fairly simple model assuming transferable utility, or the existence of a (divisible) commodity (e.g., money) that players can freely transfer among themselves ...

Simple Coalitional Games with Beliefs
2009
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
In contrast, we demonstrate that in games with coalition structures allowing beliefs increases the computational complexity of stability-related problems. ...
We put forward a model to capture such agent-type uncertainty, and study coalitional stability in this setting. ...
In contrast, in non-transferable utility games (NTU games), the worth of a coalition C, |C| = k, is described by a vector of length k, which, for each player i ∈ C, describes the utility that i derives ...

Sequentially optimal repeated coalition formation under uncertainty
2010
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
Coalition formation is a central problem in multiagent systems research, but most models assume common knowledge of agent types. ...
In this paper, we propose a novel Bayesian, model-based reinforcement learning framework for this problem, assuming that coalitions are formed (and tasks undertaken) repeatedly. ...
When transferable utility is not assumed, we lie in the realm of non-transferable utility (NTU) games [38] . We do not deal with NTU games in this work. ...

Bayesian Coalition Game for Overlay D2D Spectrum Sharing in Cellular Networks
2020
FUOYE Journal of Engineering and Technology
In this paper, D2D users can access the network in an overlaid mode and share their allocated sub-bands with other D2D users using the proposed game which enables coalition formation that guarantee an ...
The paper establishes sufficient conditions needed for stability in the coalitions formed and present simulation results to show that it is possible to increase the overall capacity of the D2D-enabled ...
We propose a dynamic Bayesian coalition game with a non-transferable utility to model the formation of coalitions among D2D users under the uncertainty of the type of these D2D users. ...

Coalition formation processes with belief revision among bounded-rational self-interested agents
1999
Journal of Logic and Computation
This paper studies coalition formation among selfinterested agents that cannot make sidepayments. ...
We show that -core stability reduces to analyzing whether some utility pro le is maximal for all agents. We also show that the -core is a subset of strong Nash equilibria. ...
It shows, among other results, that stability of the coalition formation process is formally equivalent to convergence of the agents' beliefs (for both exogenously and endogenously terminated negotiation ...

Knowledge engineering review (Print)
We then briefly introduce the case where no transfer or comparison of utility are possible between agents: the non-transferable utility games (NTU games) and provide some definitions of stability concepts ...
Transferable Utility Games (TU games) In the following, we use a utility-based approach and we assume that "everything has a price": each agent has a utility function that is expressed in currency units ...

Computational intelligence
In this paper we present algorithms for coalition formation and payo distribution in non-super-additive e n vironments. We focus o n a l o w-complexity k ernel-oriented coalition formation algorithm. ...
These have shown that the model increases the bene ts of the agents within a reasonable time period, and more coalition formations provide more bene ts to the agents. ...
Next, we i n troduce the kernel stability concept section 3, upon which our coalition formation mechanisms in the subsequent sections are based. ...

Computational Aspects of Cooperative Game Theory

Synthesis Lectures on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Moldovanu and Winter [186] study bargaining games assuming non-transferable rather than transferable utility. ...
For instance, Abdallah and Lesser [2] also utilize reinforcement learning in their approach to "organization-based coalition formation". ...
It is these beliefs that influence the coalition formation process and the stability of the resulting coalition structure. Each coalition must also decide which collective action to take. ...

Coalitional Beliefs of Cournot Network Agents

Assuming that they are engaged in a differentiated Cournot competition and that they equally split the worth produced, we characterize the set of coalitional beliefs that support core non-emptiness and ...
In Network cooperative games, due to computational complexity issues, agents are not able to base their behavior on the "whole network status" but have to follow certain "beliefs" as to how it is in their ...
Ideas like Nash equilibrium, price of anarchy and stability, cost allocation, transferable utilities, coalition formation, core, mechanism design, to name a few, are commonly used not only to understand ...

In this setting, we characterize the core as a function of the utility's parameter values and show that in all cases the corresponding cores are non-empty. ...
In this paper, we use the notion of the core to study stability where identity is conceptualized as a hedonic trait, thus our work is also related to the literature on hedonic coalition formation. ...
