Convergence Analysis of Heterogeneous Decision-making Populations Under the Coordinating Best-response and Imitation Update Rules
… heterogeneous mixed population of imitators and best-responders. In this model, agents’ update rules are assumed to be discrete functions of time. Imitators refer to agents who simply replicate the strategy of another agent with the highest payoff, while best-responders pick the strategies that …

Approximation algorithms for distributed and selfish agents
… to high quality solutions on (random) best-response paths of players. First, we study the average social value on best response paths in basic-utility, market sharing, and cut games. Then, we introduce the sink equilibrium as a new equilibrium concept. We argue that, unlike Nash …

On Bilevel Optimization without Full Unrolls: Methods and Applications
… that learns a parametric approximation to the best-response function online, amortizing the inner loop optimization. STNs address the two main challenges to fitting a best-response approximation: 1) STNs fit the approximation locally around the current outer parameters, and alternate between …

An agent-based approach to modeling electricity spot markets
… behaviors, as well as to identify the "best" response action of one participant against the opponents' actions.

Finding optimal strategies for influencing social networks in two player games
… is used to rapidly find equilibria using best response dynamics. We demonstrate through experimentation that the games formulated admit pure Nash equilibrium strategy profiles and that best response dynamics can be used to find them. We also test a scenario based on the author's experience …

Differential games and applications to counter-terrorism
… the behavior of terrorists and inform them how best response to terror threats. We studied several applications of differential games to counter-terrorism and analyzed the usefulness of each approach. We also discussed possible future research topics.

On threshold models over finite networks
… of the neighbors. We first establish that the best response dynamics in this networked game is equivalent to the linear threshold dynamics with heterogeneous thresholds over the agents. While the previous literature has studied such linear threshold models under the assumption that each agent …

Local Interactions, Learning and Automata Networks in Games
… investigating the deterministic and stochastic best response play when interactions are local.

QoE Driven Multimedia Service Schemes in Wireless Networks Resource Allocation: Evolution from Optimization, Game Theory, to Economics
… entities model. More specifically, a generalized best response Smart Media Pricing (SMP) method is studied in this dissertation. In our work, the CP and WC are treated as the service provider alliance. The SMP approach and the game theory are utilized to determine the data length of UE and the …

Parameter analysis of copper-nickel-tungsten prepared via powder metallurgy process for electrical discharge machining of polycrystalline diamond
… and surface morphology of Cu-Ni-W electrode. The best parameter combination to produced better porosity, electrical and thermal conductivity for both Type A and Type B was 5 Wt.% of W, compaction load at 9 tonne and sintering temperature at 735℃. The best response for Type A is 12.65% of porosity, …

Perturbation studies of excitable media
… and deswelling. Since this system has the best response to pH between 4 and 7, the ferrocyanide-iodate-sulfite (FIS) reaction, which exhibits pH oscillations between 4 and 7.5 in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR), is a good candidate for studies of oscillatory gel systems.;This …

Chinese children's evaluation of authority's responses to social events
… by assessing their evaluation of authority's responses to these acts. Seventy-two Macau children from second, fifth and eighth grades made judgments of permissibility of acts, personal jurisdiction, and obedience to rules regarding these events and then rated moral, conventional and filial …

The Use of Noncooperative Games to Determine Strategic Bidding in Centralized Electricity Markets
… games tempts participants to walk away from the best-response equilibrium strategies provided by Nash solutions. Although Nash solutions make theoretical sense in nonrepeated games, their applicability in repeated games is weakened by the fact that these solutions are not, in general, Pareto …

Online Auctions with Multiple Items
… be attained computationally efficiently using a best-response oracle. Finally, when there is a single first-price auction per round, we can attain tight regret bounds in two settings where additional information is available, in the form of hints, about the opponent bids.

A tensor-train-decomposition-based algorithm for high-dimensional pursuit-evasion games
… high dimensional pursuit-evasion problems called Best-Response Tensor-Train-decomposition-based Value Iteration (BR-TT-VI) was developed. BR-TT-VI builds on concepts from game theory, dynamic programming (DP), and tensor-train decomposition. By using TT decomposition, BR-TT-VI greatly reduces the …
