On the interplay between pricing, competition and QoS in ride-hailing
Tushar Shankar Walunj, Shiksha Singhal, Jayakrishnan Nair +1
We analyse a non-cooperative game between two competing ride-hailing platforms, each of which is modeled as a two-sided queueing system, where drivers (with a limited level of pati…
Best Arm Identification in Bandits with Limited Precision Sampling
Kota Srinivas Reddy, P. N. Karthik, Nikhil Karamchandani +1
We study best arm identification in a variant of the multi-armed bandit problem where the learner has limited precision in arm selection. The learner can only sample arms via certa…
On the ubiquity of duopolies in constant sum congestion games
Shiksha Singhal, Veeraruna Kavitha, Jayakrishnan Nair
We analyse a coalition formation game between strategic service providers of a congestible service. The key novelty of our formulation is that it is a constant sum game, i.e., the…
Constrained Pure Exploration Multi-Armed Bandits with a Fixed Budget
Fathima Zarin Faizal, Jayakrishnan Nair
We consider a constrained, pure exploration, stochastic multi-armed bandit formulation under a fixed budget. Each arm is associated with an unknown, possibly multi-dimensional dist…
Pricing, competition and market segmentation in ride hailing
Tushar Shankar Walunj, Shiksha Singhal, Veeraruna Kavitha +1
We analyse a non-cooperative strategic game among two ride-hailing platforms, each of which is modeled as a two-sided queueing system, where drivers (with a certain patience level)…
Non-asymptotic near optimal algorithms for two sided matchings
Rahul Vaze, Jayakrishnan Nair
A two-sided matching system is considered, where servers are assumed to arrive at a fixed rate, while the arrival rate of customers is modulated via a price-control mechanism. We a…
