A Stackelberg network game with a large number of followers

T Başar, R Srikant - Journal of optimization theory and applications, 2002 - Springer
We consider a hierarchical network game with multiple links, a single service provider, and a
large number of users with multiple classes, where different classes of users enter the …

Differentiated Internet pricing using a hierarchical network game model

H Shen, T Basar - Proceedings of the 2004 American Control …, 2004 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper builds on the model and results of T. Basar and R. Srikant,(2002) and extends
them to the case of differentiated prices, again for the single link case. It introduces a …

Bottleneck routing games in communication networks

R Banner, A Orda - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider routing games where the performance of each user is dictated by the worst
(bottleneck) element it employs. We are given a network, finitely many (selfish) users, each …

Incentive-based pricing for network games with complete and incomplete information

H Shen, T Başar - Advances in dynamic game theory: numerical methods …, 2007 - Springer
We introduce the concept of nonlinear pricing within the context of our previous Stackelberg
network game model and view the Internet Service Provider's (ISP's) policy as an incentive …

[PDF][PDF] Incentives and pricing in communication networks

A Ozdaglar, R Srikant - Algorithmic Game Theory, 2007 - nscpolteksby.ac.id
In this chapter, we study two types of pricing mechanisms: one where the goal of the pricing
scheme is to achieve some socially beneficial objective for the network and the other where …

On the existence of optimal taxes for network congestion games with heterogeneous users

D Fotakis, G Karakostas, SG Kolliopoulos - Algorithmic Game Theory …, 2010 - Springer
We consider network congestion games in which a finite number of non-cooperative users
select paths. The aim is to mitigate the inefficiency caused by the selfish users by introducing …

Design of price mechanisms for network resource allocation via price of anarchy

YJ Chen, J Zhang - Mathematical programming, 2012 - Springer
We study the design of price mechanisms for communication network problems in which a
user's utility depends on the amount of flow she sends through the network, and the …

The equilibrium existence problem in finite network congestion games

I Milchtaich - Internet and Network Economics: Second International …, 2006 - Springer
An open problem is presented regarding the existence of pure strategy Nash equilibrium
(PNE) in network congestion games with a finite number of non-identical players, in which …

[PDF][PDF] Network resource allocation and a congestion game

R Johari, JN Tsitsiklis - Proceedings of the Annual Allerton Conference on …, 2003 - Citeseer
We explore the properties of a congestion game where users of a congested resource
anticipate the effect of their actions on the price of the resource. When users are sharing a …

Price competition with elastic traffic

A Ozdaglar - Networks: An International Journal, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we present a combined study of price competition and traffic control in a
congested network. We study a model in which service providers own the routes in a …
