Two traditional paradigms are often used to describe the behavior of agents in multi-agent complex systems. In the first one, agents are considered to be fully rational and systems are seen as multi-player games. In the second one, agents…
This paper studies a multi-player, general-sum stochastic game characterized by a dual-stage temporal structure per period. The agents face uncertainty regarding the time-evolving state that is realized at the beginning of each period.…
We consider private commons for secondary sharing of licensed spectrum bands with no access coordination provided by the primary license holder. In such environments, heterogeneity in demand patterns of the secondary users can lead to…
We introduce Mean Field Markov games with $N$ players, in which each individual in a large population interacts with other randomly selected players. The states and actions of each player in an interaction together determine the…
This paper formally models the strategic repeated interactions between a system, comprising of a machine learning (ML) model and associated explanation method, and an end-user who is seeking a prediction/label and its explanation for a…
We consider the problem of decentralized power allocation for competitive rate-maximization in a frequency-selective Gaussian interference channel under bounded channel uncertainty. We formulate a distribution-free robust framework for the…
We consider an ad hoc network where multiple users access the same set of channels. The channel characteristics are unknown and could be different for each user (heterogeneous). No controller is available to coordinate channel selections by…
We consider the downlink of a cellular system and address the problem of multiuser scheduling with partial channel information. In our setting, the channel of each user is modeled by a three-state Markov chain. The scheduler indirectly…
Coordination is a desirable feature in many multi-agent systems such as robotic and socioeconomic networks. We consider a task allocation problem as a binary networked coordination game over an undirected regular graph. Each agent in the…
Stochastic games combine controllable and adversarial non-determinism with stochastic behavior and are a common tool in control, verification and synthesis of reactive systems facing uncertainty. Multi-objective stochastic games are natural…
The general picture of game theoretic modeling dealt with here is characterized by a set of big players, also referred to as principals or major agents, acting on the background of large pools of small players, the impact of the behavior of…
We study broadcast in multiple access channels in dynamic adversarial settings. There is an unbounded supply of anonymous stations attached to a synchronous channel. There is an adversary who injects packets into stations to be broadcast on…
Given a large number of homogeneous players that are distributed across three possible states, we consider the problem in which these players have to control their transition rates, while minimizing a cost. The optimal transition rates are…
Consider the problem of a multi-user multiple access channel. While several multi-user coding techniques exist, in practical scenarios, not all users can be scheduled simultaneously. Thus, a key problem is which users to schedule in a given…
We consider a multiuser system where a single transmitter equipped with multiple antennas (the base station) communicates with multiple users each with a single antenna. Regularized channel inversion is employed as the precoding strategy at…
In this paper, the problem of smart grid energy management under stochastic dynamics is investigated. In the considered model, at the demand side, it is assumed that customers can act as prosumers who own renewable energy sources and can…
In cellular networks, User Equipment (UE) handoff from one Base Station (BS) to another, giving rise to the load balancing problem among the BSs. To address this problem, BSs can work collaboratively to deliver a smooth migration (or…
This paper considers a widely studied stochastic control problem arising from opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) in a multi-channel system, with the goal of providing a unifying analytical framework whereby a number of prior results may be…
Considering the interaction through mutual interference of the different radio devices, the channel selection (CS) problem in decentralized parallel multiple access channels can be modeled by strategic-form games. Here, we show that the CS…
We adopt a game theoretic approach for the design and analysis of distributed resource allocation algorithms in fading multiple access channels. The users are assumed to be selfish, rational, and limited by average power constraints. We…
