Impact of Attitude and Bounded Rationality on Collective Behavioral Transitions
Chen Song, Vladimir Cvetkovic, Angela Fontan +2
The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is one of the most influential frameworks in social psychology, stating that a person's behavior is driven by intention, which is primarily sha…
Affine-coupled Distributed Optimization via Distributed Proximal Jacobian ADMM with Quantized Communication
Xu Du, Boyu Han, Ivano Notarnicola +2
This paper investigates distributed resource allocation optimization over directed graphs with limited communication bandwidth. We develop a novel distributed algorithm that integr…
Flexible Electric Vehicle Charging with Karma
