On the Existence of Optimal Taxes for Network Congestion Games with Heterogeneous Users
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We study for the first time taxation for networks with atomic users which have unsplittable traffic demands and are heterogeneous, i.e., have different sensitivities to taxes. ...
The issue of designing optimal tax vectors for selfish routing games has been studied extensively in the literature. ...
Karakostas and S. Kolliopoulos thank Ioannis Caragiannis for introducing them to the problem and for valuable discussions. ...

Selfish routing and wavelength assignment strategies with advance reservation in inter-domain optical networks
2012
Computer Communications
We showed how and under which conditions such approach can give rise to a stable state with satisfactory solutions and analyzed its performance and convergence features. ...
On this concept, we developed a selfish adaptive RWA model supporting advance reservation in large-scale optical wavelength-routed networks and developed a distributed algorithm to compute approximate ...
In particular, results presented in [27] suggest that for strictly increasing and differentiable linear latency functions, imposing properly chosen taxes on a selfish routing game not only yields to ...

Upper Bounds on Inefficiency of Taxed Stackelberg Network with Cross- Nested Logit Assignment
2014
Open Cybernetics and Systemics Journal
This paper initially explores it in a taxed stochastic traffic network whose equilibrium flow pattern is deduced by a cross-nested Logit (CNL) flow assignment model, and a centrally controlling Stackelberg ...
stochastic user equilibrium (CNL-SUE) model is established and first used to obtain upper bounds on Stackelberg network inefficiency. ...
INTRODUCTION How is the efficiency loss of users' selfish route choice behaviors affected by traffic assignment model, stochastic factor in traveler route selection, routing strategies, and tax schemes ...

Coordination mechanisms for congestion games
2004

Typical examples include the selfish task allocation problem-in which users have tasks to schedule on machimes and compete for the execution time-and the selfish routing problem-in which selfish traffic ...
Coordination mechanisms for selfish routing The above ideas can be naturally extended to the selfish routing problem whose price of anarchy study was initiated by Roughgarden and Tardos [28] . ...

In Section 5.1 we consider a version of the game where selfish agents own also the machines and in Section 5.2 we consider the problem of routing selfish unsplittable traffic on arbitrary networks. ...

so as to influence the flow of selfish users; and (b) network tolls, where tolls are imposed on the edges to modify the latencies of the edges, and thereby influence the induced Nash equilibrium. ...
In particular, the results in Section 3.1 were obtained in collaboration with her, and I thank her for allowing me to include these results. ...
