We consider the problem of incentivising desirable behaviours in multi-agent systems by way of taxation schemes. Our study employs the concurrent games model: in this model, each agent is primarily motivated to seek the satisfaction of a…

We prove that the model checking ATL* on concurrent game structures with propositional control for atom-visibility (vCGS) is undecidable. To do so, we reduce this problem to model checking ATL* on iCGS.
