Bilevel optimization is a field of mathematical programming in which some variables are
constrained to be the solution of another optimization problem. As a consequence, bilevel …

Bilevel optimization is a very active field of applied mathematics. The main reason is that
bilevel optimization problems can serve as a powerful tool for modeling hierarchical …

Problems of cooperation--in which agents seek ways to jointly improve their welfare--are
ubiquitous and important. They can be found at scales ranging from our daily routines--such …

Abstract The Stackelberg Security Game (SSG) model has been immensely influential in
security research since it was introduced roughly a decade ago. Furthermore, deployed SSG …

Real world applications such as economics and policy making often involve solving multi-
agent games with two unique features:(1) The agents are inherently asymmetric and …

In a class of games known as Stackelberg games, one agent (the leader) must commit to a
strategy that can be observed by the other agent (the follower or adversary) before the …

We study the problem of online learning in a two-player decentralized cooperative
Stackelberg game. In each round, the leader first takes an action, followed by the follower …

Security at major locations of economic or political importance is a key concern around the
world, particularly given the threat of terrorism. Limited security resources prevent full …

Predictable allocations of security resources such as police officers, canine units, or
checkpoints are vulnerable to exploitation by attackers. Recent work has applied game …

While three deployed applications of game theory for security have recently been reported at
AAMAS [12], we as a community remain in the early stages of these deployments; there is a …
