The Hitchhiker's Guide to Affiliation Networks: A Game-Theoretic Approach
We propose a new class of game-theoretic models for network formation in which strategies are not directly related to edge choices, but instead correspond more generally to the ex...

A new proof of Nash's Theorem via exchangeable equilibria
We give a novel proof of the existence of Nash equilibria in all finite games without using fixed point theorems or path following arguments. Our approach relies on a new notion i...

Congestion Games: Optimization in Competition
In a congestion game, several players simultaneously aim at allocating sets of resources, e.g., each player aims at allocating a shortest path between a source/destination pair in ...

Homotopy Methods to Compute Equilibria in Game Theory
This paper presents a complete survey of the use of homotopy methods in game theory. Homotopies allow for a robust computation of game-theoretic equilibria and their refinements....

Rewriting Game Theory as a Foundation for State-Based Models of Gene Regulation
We present a game-theoretic foundation for gene regulatory analysis based on the recent formalism of rewriting game theory. Rewriting game theory is discrete and comes with a graph...

Tradeoffs and Average-Case Equilibria in Selfish Routing
We consider the price of selfish routing in terms of tradeoffs and from an average-case perspective. Each player in a network game seeks to send a message with a certain length by...

Vindictive bidding in keyword auctions
We study vindictive bidding, a strategic bidding behavior in keyword auctions where a bidder forces his competitor to pay more without affecting his own payment. We show that most...

Achieving symmetric Pareto Nash equilibria using biased replicator dynamics
— Achieving the Nash equilibria for single objective games is known to be a computationally difficult problem. However there is a special class of equilibria called evolutionary...

Ranking games that have competitiveness-based strategies
This paper studies —from the perspective of efficient computation— a type of competition that is widespread throughout the plant and animal kingdoms, higher education, politic...

On a network creation game
We introduce a novel game that models the creation of Internet-like networks by selfish node-agents without central design or coordination. Nodes pay for the links that they esta...
