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…
Shared Infrastructure Investment and Pricing: Stackelberg Equilibria in Risk-Aware Take-or-Pay Contracts
Amal Sakr, Andrea Araldo, Tamer BaÅar +1
We study a shared infrastructure deployed by an Infrastructure Provider (InP) and used by multiple firms generating revenues through resource usage. We focus on a challenging setti…
Continuity of VaR and Continuous Differentiability of CVaR under Decision-Dependent Losses
Amal Sakr, Andrea Araldo, Tamer BaÅar +1
Value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) are widely used in risk-aware optimization and equilibrium models. When the loss depends on a decision variable, the induce…
Cooperative and Noncooperative Paradigms for Game-Theoretic Control of Socio-Technical Systems
Tamer BaÅar, Tomohisa Hayakawa, Hideaki Ishii +1
This tutorial presents cooperative and noncooperative game-theoretic frameworks for modeling, learning, and control in socio-technical systems, where human behavior, incentives, in…
A Stackelberg Game Framework with Drainability Guardrails for Pricing and Scaling in Multi-Tenant GPU Cloud Platforms
Junji Yan, Asrin Efe Yorulmaz, Hanchen Zhou +2
Modern Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-backed services must satisfy strict latency service-level objectives (SLOs) while controlling spare-capacity costs. In multi-tenant GPU cloud…
Meta-Learning for Repeated Bayesian Persuasion
Ata Poyraz Turna, Asrin Efe Yorulmaz, Tamer BaÅar
Classical Bayesian persuasion studies how a sender influences receivers through carefully designed signaling policies within a single strategic interaction. In many real-world envi…
