A No-Regret Framework for Adaptive Incentive Design
Georgios Vasileiou, Lantian Zhang, Silun Zhang
Incentive design studies how a central authority can influence strategic agents through payments, subsidies, or taxes, so that individual objectives align with collective welfare.…
Incentive Design without Hypergradients: A Social-Gradient Method
Georgios Vasileiou, Lantian Zhang, Silun Zhang
Incentive design problems consider a system planner who steers self-interested agents toward a socially optimal Nash equilibrium by issuing incentives in the presence of informatio…
Adaptive Incentive Design with Regret Minimization
Georgios Vasileiou, Lantian Zhang, Silun Zhang
Incentive design constitutes a foundational paradigm for influencing the behavior of strategic agents, wherein a system planner (principal) publicly commits to an incentive mechani…
Self-Identifying Internal Model-Based Online Optimization
Wouter J. A. van Weerelt, Lantian Zhang, Silun Zhang +1
In this paper, we propose a novel online optimization algorithm built by combining ideas from control theory and system identification. The foundation of our algorithm is a control…
Collective decision-making dynamics in hypernetworks
Angela Fontan, Silun Zhang
This work describes a collective decision-making dynamical process in a multiagent system under the assumption of cooperative higher-order interactions within the community, modele…
