Transitioning out of the Coronavirus Lockdown: A Framework for Zone-Based Social Distancing
Eric Friedman, John Friedman, Simon Johnson +1
In the face of elevated pandemic risk, is it necessary to completely lock down the population, imposing extreme social distancing? Canonical epidemiological models suggest this may…
Duality and Nonlinear Graph Laplacians
Eric J. Friedman, Adam S. Landsberg
We present an iterative algorithm for solving a class of \\nonlinear Laplacian system of equations in iterations, where is a measure of nonlinearit…
Optimizing Scrip Systems: Crashes, Altruists, Hoarders, Sybils and Collusion
Ian A. Kash, Eric J. Friedman, Joseph Y. Halpern
Scrip, or artificial currency, is a useful tool for designing systems that are robust to selfish behavior by users. However, it also introduces problems for a system designer, such…
Combinatorial Games with a Pass: A dynamical systems approach
Rebecca E. Morrison, Eric J. Friedman, Adam S. Landsberg
By treating combinatorial games as dynamical systems, we are able to address a longstanding open question in combinatorial game theory, namely, how the introduction of a "pass" mov…
Probabilistic Convergence Guarantees for Type II Pulse Coupled Oscillators
Joel Nishimura, Eric J. Friedman
We show that a large class of pulse coupled oscillators converge with high probability from random initial conditions on a large class of graphs with time delays. Our analysis comb…
An Equilibrium Analysis of Scrip Systems
Ian A. Kash, Eric J. Friedman, Joseph Y. Halpern
A game-theoretic model of scrip (artificial currency) systems is analyzed. It is shown that relative entropy can be used to characterize the distribution of agent wealth when all a…
