Multi-type random game dynamics: limits at discontinuities and cyclic limits
Raghupati Vyas, Kousik Das, Veeraruna Kavitha +1
We consider (random) strategic interactions in a large population consisting of a variety of players. A rational player chooses actions that maximise certain utility functions, whi…
Balancing Morality and Economics: Population Games with Herding and Inertia
Raghupati Vyas, Harsitha Devaraj, Veeraruna Kavitha
The adoption of clean technologies (CTs) plays an important role in reducing carbon dioxide (CO) emissions. We study CT adoption in a large population of consumers with heterog…
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…
Constrained Average-Reward Intermittently Observable MDPs
Konstantin Avrachenkov, Madhu Dhiman, Veeraruna Kavitha
In Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with intermittent state information, decision-making becomes challenging due to periods of missing observations. Linear programming (LP) methods…
Stability of Polling Systems for a Large Class of Markovian Switching Policies
Konstantin Avrachenkov, Kousik Das, Veeraruna Kavitha +1
We consider a polling system with two queues, where a single server is attending the queues in a cyclic order and requires non-zero switching times to switch between the queues. Ou…
Optimal Control with cost: incorporating peak minimization
Madhu Dhiman, Veeraruna Kavitha, Nandyala Hemachandra
Inventory and queueing systems are often designed by controlling weighted combination of some time-averaged performance metrics (like cumulative holding, shortage, server-utilizati…
