Affine congestion games are a well-studied model for selfish behavior in distributed systems,
such as transportation and communication networks. Seminal influential papers in …

We introduce a new class of games, called social contribution games (SCGs), where each
player's individual cost is equal to the cost he induces on society because of his presence …

Congestion games offer a primary model in the study of pure Nash equilibria in non-
cooperative games, and a number of generalized models have been proposed in the …

We study the issues of existence and inefficiency of pure Nash equilibria in linear
congestion games with altruistic social context, in the spirit of the model recently proposed …

In hedonic games, coalitions are created as a result of the strategic interaction of
independent players. In particular, in additively separable hedonic games, every player has …

Job scheduling on parallel machines is a well-studied singleton congestion game. We
consider a variant of this game, arising in environments with strong competition. In a …

Hedonic games are coalition formation games in which coalitions are created as a result of
the strategic interaction of independent players. To this day, the literature on non …

One of the main results shown through Roughgarden's notions of smooth games and robust
price of anarchy is that, for any sum-bounded utilitarian social function, the worst-case price …

We study the stable roommates problem in networks where players are embedded in a
social context and may incorporate positive externalities into their decisions. Each player is …
