Generalized efficiency bounds in distributed resource allocation
Game theory is emerging as a popular tool for distributed control of multiagent systems. In order to take advantage of these game theoretic tools the interactions of the autonomous...

A note on competitive diffusion through social networks
We introduce a game-theoretic model of diffusion of technologies, advertisements, or influence through a social network. The novelty in our model is that the players are intereste...

Non-cooperative facility location and covering games
Abstract. We study a general class of non-cooperative games coming from combinatorial covering and facility location problems. A game for k players is based on an integer programmi...

On the Structure of Weakly Acyclic Games
The class of weakly acyclic games, which includes potential games and dominance-solvable games, captures many practical application domains. Informally, a weakly acyclic game is on...

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...

Impact of Asynchrony on the Behavior of Rational Selfish Agents
The behavior of rational selfish agents has been classically studied in the framework of strategic games in which each player has a set of possible actions, players choose actions ...

Capacitated Caching Games
Capacitated Caching (CC) Games are motivated by P2P and web caching applications, and involve nodes on a network making strategic choices regarding the content to replicate in the...

Pure Nash equilibria: complete characterization of hard and easy graphical games
We consider the computational complexity of pure Nash equilibria in graphical games. It is known that the problem is NP-complete in general, but tractable (i.e., in P) for special...

Equilibria and Efficiency Loss in Games on Networks
Social networks are the substrate upon which we make and evaluate many of our daily decisions: our costs and benefits depend on whether--or how many of, or which of--our friends ar...

Computing pure nash equilibria in graphical games via markov random fields
We present a reduction from graphical games to Markov random fields so that pure Nash equilibria in the former can be found by statistical inference on the latter. Our result, wh...
