The efficiency of best-response dynamics

M Feldman, Y Snappir, T Tamir - International Symposium on Algorithmic …, 2017 - Springer
Best response (BR) dynamics is a natural method by which players proceed toward a pure
Nash equilibrium via a local search method. The quality of the equilibrium reached may …

Infinite-duration bidding games

G Avni, TA Henzinger, V Chonev - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2019 - dl.acm.org
<? tight?> Two-player games on graphs are widely studied in formal methods, as they model
the interaction between a system and its environment. The game is played by moving a …

Bidding graph games with partially-observable budgets

Pairwise Stability in Weighted Network Formation Games: Selection and Computation

C Chen, J Tao, Y Zhan - INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
This paper is concerned with the selection and computation of pairwise stable networks
when agents have differentiable and concave utility functions. We show that a pairwise …

An Abstraction-Refinement Methodologyfor Reasoning about Network Games

G Avni, S Guha, O Kupferman - Games, 2018 - mdpi.com
Network games (NGs) are played on directed graphs and are extensively used in network
design and analysis. Search problems for NGs include finding special strategy profiles such …

[HTML][HTML] Cost-sharing scheduling games on restricted unrelated machines

G Avni, T Tamir - Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 - Elsevier
We study a very general cost-sharing scheduling game. An instance consists of k jobs and m
machines and an arbitrary weighted bipartite graph denoting the jobs strategies. An edge …

Dynamic resource allocation games

G Avni, TA Henzinger, O Kupferman - International Symposium on …, 2016 - Springer
In resource allocation games, selfish players share resources that are needed in order to
fulfill their objectives. The cost of using a resource depends on the load on it. In the …

Hierarchical network formation games

O Kupferman, T Tamir - International Conference on Tools and Algorithms …, 2017 - Springer
Classical network-formation games (NFGs) are played on directed graphs, and are used in
network design and analysis. Edges in the network are associated with costs and players …
