Optimal Taxes in Atomic Congestion Games
Dario Paccagnan, Rahul Chandan, Bryce L Ferguson +1
How can we design mechanisms to promote efficient use of shared resources? Here, we answer this question in relation to the well-studied class of atomic congestion games, used to m…
When Smoothness is Not Enough: Toward Exact Quantification and Optimization of the Price of Anarchy
Rahul Chandan, Dario Paccagnan, Jason R. Marden
The price of anarchy (PoA) is a popular metric for analyzing the inefficiency of self-interested decision making. Although its study is widespread, characterizing the PoA can be ch…
Characterizing the interplay between information and strength in Blotto games
Keith Paarporn, Rahul Chandan, Mahnoosh Alizadeh +1
In this paper, we investigate informational asymmetries in the Colonel Blotto game, a game-theoretic model of competitive resource allocation between two players over a set of batt…
When Smoothness is Not Enough: Toward Exact Quantification and Optimization of the Price-of-Anarchy
Rahul Chandan, Dario Paccagnan, Jason R. Marden
Today's multiagent systems have grown too complex to rely on centralized controllers, prompting increasing interest in the design of distributed algorithms. In this respect, game t…
Optimal Price of Anarchy in Cost-Sharing Games
Rahul Chandan, Dario Paccagnan, Jason R. Marden
The design of distributed algorithms is central to the study of multiagent systems control. In this paper, we consider a class of combinatorial cost-minimization problems and propo…
