Network-Induced Strategic Communication in Opinion Dynamics
Hassan Munif, Anthony Couthures, Vineeth S. Varma +2
Classical opinion dynamics typically assume a fixed mapping from private opinions to public signals, such as linear exchange, saturated signaling, or discrete public actions. In th…
Strategic Gaussian Signaling under Linear Sensitivity Mismatch
Hassan Munif, Vineeth Satheeskumar Varma, Samson Lasaulce
We analyze Stackelberg Gaussian signaling games where the encoder and decoder have a linear sensitivity mismatch. Unlike the standard additive-bias model, a sensitivity mismatch me…
Pricing for Information Revelation in Demand Response: A Strategic Communication Approach
Hassan Mohamad, Chao Zhang, Samson Lasaulce +4
Many smart grid frameworks, such as demand response programs, require accurate information about consumers' parameters (e.g., flexibility) at the aggregator side to optimize grid o…
From Consensus to Robust Clustering: Multi-Agent Systems with Nonlinear Interactions
Anthony Couthures, Gustave Bainier, Vineeth Satheeskumar Varma +2
This paper establishes a theoretical framework to describe the transition from consensus to stable clustering in multi-agent systems with nonlinear, cooperative interactions. We fi…
Bifurcation analysis of an opinion dynamics model coupled with an environmental dynamics
Anthony Couthures, Anastasia Bizyaeva, Vineeth S. Varma +2
We consider an opinion dynamics model coupled with an environmental dynamics. Based on a forward invariance argument, we can simplify the analysis of the asymptotic behavior to the…
Global synchronization of multi-agent systems with nonlinear interactions
Anthony Couthures, Vineeth S. Varma, Samson Lasaulce +1
The paper addresses the synchronization of multi-agent systems with continuous-time dynamics interacting through a very general class of monotonic continuous signal functions that…
