On the Inefficiency of Equilibria in Linear Bottleneck Congestion Games
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We study the inefficiency of equilibrium outcomes in bottleneck congestion games. These games model situations in which strategic players compete for a limited number of facilities. ...
We derive upper and (asymptotically) matching lower bounds on the (strong) price of anarchy of linear bottleneck congestion games for a natural load balancing social cost objective (i.e., minimize the ...

On the Inefficiency Ratio of Stable Equilibria in Congestion Games
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The current paper studies the inefficiency of the equilibria that are most stable in the presence of noise. ...
Both of these notions focus on extreme cases: one is defined as the inefficiency ratio of the worst-case equilibrium and the other as the best one. ...

Bounding the inefficiency of equilibria in nonatomic congestion games
2004
Games and Economic Behavior
Equilibria in noncooperative games are typically inefficient, as illustrated by the Prisoner's Dilemma. ...
In this paper, we quantify this inefficiency by comparing the payoffs of equilibria to the payoffs of a "best possible" outcome. ...
Cost Functions In this section we undertake a deeper study of the inefficiency of equilibria in nonatomic congestion games. ...

On the characterization and computation of Nash equilibria on parallel networks with horizontal queues
2012
2012 IEEE 51st IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)
The article expands studies on routing games which traditionally model congestion with latency functions that increase with the flow on a particular link. ...
We study inefficiencies in parallel networks with horizontal queues due to the selfish behavior of players, by comparing social optima to Nash equilibria. ...
Routing games and Nash equilibria Routing games (or congestion games) form an important class of non-atomic games that is used to model the interaction of players who are sharing resources on a network ...

pre-print
Then we find the inefficiency of the routing equilibria by calculating the Price of Anarchy for polynomial cost functions. ...
We formulate an associated network control game, consisting of multiple actors seeking to optimise the social welfare of their assigned subpopulations in an underlying nonatomic congestion game. ...
Conclusion We studied multiple agents optimising the routing of subpopulations in a nonatomic congestion game. ...

2012 IEEE 51st IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)
Ahstract-In order to address inefficiencies of Nash equilib ria for congestion networks with horizontal queues, we study the Stackelberg routing game on parallel networks: assuming a coordinator has control ...

Passive transmission rights will not do the job

In fact there is no accepted 6 theory even to tell us that the outcome will necessarily be one of the game's Nash equilibria. 11 This ambiguity in game theory is illustrated by the experimental results ...
For simplicity we begin in the context of the one-line game with only two generators who produce q1 and q2. ...

[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We characterize the price of anarchy in weighted congestion games, as a function of the allowable resource cost functions. ...
We also prove a new result about unweighted congestion games: the worst-case price of anarchy in symmetric games is, as the number of players goes to infinity, as large as in their more general asymmetric ...
Congestion games have played a starring role in recent research on quantifying the inefficiency of game-theoretic equilibria. ...

Theoretical Computer Science
We introduce a new model of congestion games that captures several extensions of the classical congestion game introduced by Rosenthal in 1973. ...
