Inefficient Noncooperation in Networking Games of Common-Pool Resources
We study in this paper a noncooperative approach for sharing resources of a common pool among users, wherein each user strives to maximize its own utility. The optimality notion is...

Optimality and Complexity of Pure Nash Equilibria in the Coverage Game
In this paper, we investigate the coverage problem in wireless sensor networks using a game theory method. We assume that nodes are randomly scattered in a sensor field and the goa...

Acyclicity of Preferences, Nash Equilibria, and Subgame Perfect Equilibria: a Formal and Constructive Equivalence
Abstract. Sequential game and Nash equilibrium are basic key concepts in game theory. In 1953, Kuhn showed that every sequential game has a Nash equilibrium. The two main steps of ...

Settling the Complexity of Computing Two-Player Nash Equilibria
We prove that Bimatrix, the problem of finding a Nash equilibrium in a two-player game, is complete for the complexity class PPAD (Polynomial Parity Argument, Directed version)

On the Value of Correlation
Correlated equilibrium generalizes Nash equilibrium to allow correlation devices. Correlated equilibrium captures the idea that in many systems there exists a trusted administrato...

A game theoretic comparison of TCP and digital fountain based protocols
In this paper we analyze a novel paradigm of reliable communication which is not based on the traditional timeout-andretransmit mechanism of TCP. Our approach, which we call Fount...

Game Theory with Costly Computation
We develop a general game-theoretic framework for reasoning about strategic agents performing possibly costly computation. In this framework, many traditional game-theoretic resul...
