Achieving Robust Performance using Minimal Communication in Resource Allocation Games

Increasingly, resource allocation games are being proposed to model team coordination in denied communication environments. Of particular interest is understanding the impact of communication denial on the quality of emergent team coordination. In this work, we consider the situation with an arbitrary communication net...

On the Fragility of Worst-Case Nash Equilibria in Atomic Congestion Games

Aggregate performance in smart mobility systems depends heavily on the emergent behavior of selfish, resource-sharing agents that participate within the systems. As a result, recent work has focused on how a system designer can leverage incentives to influence behavior so that system cost (e.g., traffic congestion) is...
