On Tree Equilibria in Max-Distance Network Creation Games
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Our work brings new insights into the structure of Nash equilibria and takes one step forward in settling the so-called tree conjecture in the max-distance network creation game. ...
We also improve the constant upper bound on the price of anarchy to 3 for tree equilibria. ...
For the max-distance network creation game, there is no work formally stating an adapted tree conjecture. ...

Basic network creation games

Proceedings of the 22nd ACM symposium on Parallelism in algorithms and architectures - SPAA '10
Our perspective enables simpler and more general proofs that get at the heart of network creation games. ...
We study a natural network creation game, in which each node locally tries to minimize its local diameter or its local average distance to other nodes, by swapping one incident edge at a time. ...
Indeed, we show that results for our basic network creation game carry over directly to other network creation games for all values of the parameter α. ...

In the network creation game with n vertices, every vertex (a player) buys a set of adjacent edges, each at a fixed amount α > 0. ...
It has been conjectured that for α ≥ n, every Nash equilibrium is a tree, and has been confirmed for every α ≥ 273 · n. We improve upon this bound and show that this is true for every α ≥ 65 · n. ...

It has been conjectured that for α ≥ n, every Nash equilibrium of this game is a tree and has been confirmed for every α ≥ 273 • n. ...
In the network creation game with n vertices, every vertex (player) creates an (adjacent) edge and decides to which other vertices the created edge should go. ...
CONCLUSIONS In this article, we have described steps toward resolving the conjecture "Every Nash equilibrium of a Network Creation Game with α ≥ n is a tree." ...

An Improved Bound for the Tree Conjecture in Network Creation Games
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
A long-standing conjecture states that if α≥ n then every Nash equilibrium in the game is a spanning tree. We prove the conjecture holds for any α>3n-3. ...
We study Nash equilibria in the network creation game of Fabrikant et al.[10]. ...
They then conjectured that, for α greater than some constant, every Nash equilibrium is a spanning tree. This was the original tree conjecture for network creation games. ...

On the Price of Anarchy for High-Price Links

pre-print
We study Nash equilibria and the price of anarchy in the classic model of Network Creation Games introduced by Fabrikant, Luthra, Maneva, Papadimitriou and Shenker in 2003. ...
One of the main conjectures for this model states that the price of anarchy, i.e. the relative cost of the lack of coordination, is constant for all α. ...
In this work we provide a new understanding of the structure of the equilibrium networks for the classical network creation game [12] . ...

The price of selfish behavior in bilateral network formation
2005
Proceedings of the twenty-fourth annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS symposium on Principles of distributed computing - PODC '05
The proof of Proposition 5 that all Nash graphs of the unilateral connection game (UCG) are pairwise stable in the BCG (for the same link cost) was incorrect, and the result is restated here for trees. ...
We develop an upper and lower bound on the price of anarchy of the bilateral game. ...
We also thank Geoff Exoo for helping to generalize the lower bound on the price of anarchy result. ...

This bound is the first result of this type for any version of the network creation game; most previous general upper bounds are polynomial in n. ...
