Games with Rational and Herding Players
Raghupati Vyas, Khushboo Agarwal, Konstantin Avrachenkov +1
Classical game theory is a powerful framework to analyze the strategic interactions among rational players. However, in many real-life scenarios, players choose actions based on th…
Queue or lounge: strategic design for strategic customer
Riya Sultana, Khushboo Agarwal, Veeraruna Kavitha
Considering an M/M/1 queue with an additional lounge facility (LF), the quest of this paper is to understand the instances when LF is an attractive option, from customer perspectiv…
Limiting behaviour of Branching Processes and Online Social Networks
Khushboo Agarwal
The literature considers multi-type Markov branching processes (BPs), where the offspring distribution depends only on the living (current) population. We analyse the total-current…
Balancing rationality and social influence: Alpha-rational Nash equilibrium in games with herding
Khushboo Agarwal, Konstantin Avrachenkov, Veeraruna Kavitha +1
The classical game theory models rational players and proposes Nash equilibrium (NE) as the solution. However, real-world scenarios rarely feature rational players; instead, player…
Robust fake-post detection against real-coloring adversaries
Khushboo Agarwal, Veeraruna Kavitha
The viral propagation of fake posts on online social networks (OSNs) has become an alarming concern. The paper aims to design control mechanisms for fake post detection while negli…
Single-out fake posts: participation game and its design
Khushboo Agarwal, Veeraruna Kavitha
Crowd-sourcing models, which leverage the collective opinions/signals of users on online social networks (OSNs), are well-accepted for fake post detection; however, motivating the…
Saturated total-population dependent branching process and viral markets
Khushboo Agarwal, Veeraruna Kavitha
Interesting posts are continually forwarded by the users of the online social network (OSN). Such propagation leads to re-forwarding of the post to some of the previous recipients,…
New results in Branching processes using Stochastic Approximation
Khushboo Agarwal, Veeraruna Kavitha
We consider a broad class of continuous-time two-type population size-dependent Markov Branching Processes. The offspring distribution can depend on the current (alive) and total (…
Evolutionary Vaccination Games with premature vaccines to combat ongoing deadly pandemic
Vartika Singh, Khushboo Agarwal, Shubham +1
We consider a vaccination game that results with the introduction of premature and possibly scarce vaccines introduced in a desperate bid to combat the otherwise ravaging deadly pa…
Branching Process with Attack: Viral Competing Markets
Khushboo Agarwal, Veeraruna Kavitha
The marked increase in advertisements over online social networks (OSNs) necessitates the study of content propagation. We analyse the viral markets with content providers competin…
Controlling Fake News by Tagging: A Branching Process Analysis
Suyog Kapsikar, Indrajit Saha, Khushboo Agarwal +2
The spread of fake news on online social networks (OSNs) has become a matter of concern. These platforms are also used for propagating important authentic information. Thus, there…
