Persuasion with limited communication capacity

M Le Treust, T Tomala - Journal of Economic Theory, 2019 - Elsevier
We consider a Bayesian persuasion problem where the persuader and the decision maker
communicate through an imperfect channel that has a fixed and limited number of messages …

Coordination coding with causal encoder for vector-valued Witsenhausen counterexample

M Zhao, M Le Treust… - 2024 IEEE International …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We investigate the Witsenhausen counterexample in a continuous vector-valued context
with a causal encoder and noncausal decoder. Our main result is the optimal single-letter …

Empirical coordination with two-sided state information and correlated source and state

M Le Treust - 2015 IEEE International Symposium on …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The coordination of autonomous agents is a critical issue for decentralized communication
networks. Instead of transmitting information, the agents interact in a coordinated manner in …

Joint empirical coordination of source and channel

ML Le Treust - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In a decentralized and self-configuring network, the communication devices are considered
as autonomous decision makers that sense their environment and that implement optimal …

Power-Estimation Trade-off of Vector-valued Witsenhausen Counterexample with Causal Decoder

M Le Treust, TJ Oechtering - IEEE Transactions on Information …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The vector-valued extension of the famous Witsenhausen counterexample setup is studied
where the encoder, ie the first decision maker, non-causally knows and encodes the iid state …

Coordinating partially-informed agents over state-dependent networks

B Larrousse, S Lasaulce… - 2015 IEEE Information …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a multi-agent scenario with K≥ 2 agents that have partial information about
some random nature state, and that take actions in a repeated manner. Each agent also has …
