On the existence of equilibria in noncooperative optimal flow control

YA Korilis, AA Lazar - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 1995 - dl.acm.org
The existence of Nash equilibria in noncooperative flow control in a general product-form
network shared by K users is investigated. The performance objective of each user is to …

Nash equilibria for combined flow control and routing in networks: Asymptotic behavior for a large number of users

E Altman, T Basar, R Srikant - IEEE Transactions on automatic …, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a noncooperative game framework for combined routing and flow control in a
network of parallel links, where the number of users (players) is arbitrarily large. The utility …

Inefficient noncooperation in networking games of common-pool resources

H Kameda, E Altman - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study in this paper a noncooperative approach for sharing resources of a common pool
among users, wherein each user strives to maximize its own utility. The optimality notion is …

Capacity allocation under noncooperative routing

YA Korilis, AA Lazar, A Orda - IEEE Transactions on Automatic …, 1997 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The capacity allocation problem in a network that is to be shared by noncooperative users is
considered. Each user decides independently upon its routing strategy so as to optimize its …

Distributed algorithms for Nash equilibria of flow control games

T Alpcan, T Başar - Advances in Dynamic Games: Applications to …, 2005 - Springer
We develop a mathematical model within a game theoretical framework to capture the flow
control problem for variable rate traffic at a bottleneck node. In this context, we also address …

Optimal routing control: Repeated game approach

RJ La, V Anantharam - IEEE transactions on automatic control, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Communication networks shared by selfish users are considered and modeled as
noncooperative repeated games. Each user is interested only in optimizing its own …

Optimal decentralized flow control of Markovian queueing networks with multiple controllers

MTT Hsiao, AA Lazar - Performance evaluation, 1991 - Elsevier
A Markovian queueing network model is used to derive decentralized flow control
mechanisms in computer communication networks with multiple controllers. Under the …

Nash equilibrium problems with scaled congestion costs and shared constraints

H Yin, UV Shanbhag, PG Mehta - IEEE transactions on …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a class of convex Nash games where strategy sets are coupled across agents
through a common constraint and payoff functions are linked via a scaled congestion cost …

Atomic resource sharing in noncooperative networks

L Libman, A Orda - Telecommunication systems, 2001 - Springer
In noncooperative networks, resources are shared among selfish users, which optimize their
individual performance measure. We consider the generic and practically important case of …

Incentive-compatible pricing strategies in noncooperative networks

YA Korilis, TA Varvarigou… - … . IEEE INFOCOM'98, the …, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The complexity of modern networks calls for decentralized control schemes where each user
makes its control decisions independently based on some individual performance …
