We consider the following variants of the classical minimum dominating set problem in graphs: locating-dominating set, locating total-dominating set and open locating-dominating set. All these problems are known to be hard for general…
This article studies linear-quadratic Stackelberg games between two dominating players (or equivalently, leaders) and a large group of followers, each of whom interacts under a mean field game (MFG) framework. Unlike the conventional…
We consider the convex bilevel optimization problem, also known as simple bilevel programming. There are two challenges in solving convex bilevel optimization problems. Firstly, strong duality is not guaranteed due to the lack of Slater…
We extend the formalism of Conjectural Variations games to Stackelberg games involving multiple leaders and a single follower. To solve these nonconvex games, a common assumption is that the leaders compute their strategies having perfect…
A two-player finite horizon linear-quadratic Stackelberg differential game is considered. The feature of this game is that the control cost of a follower in the cost functionals of both players is small, which means that the game under…
We provide a general approach to reformulating any continuous-time stochastic Stackelberg differential game under closed-loop strategies as a single-level optimisation problem with target constraints. More precisely, we consider a…
We study a cardinality-constrained optimization problem with nonnegative variables in this paper. This problem is often encountered in practice. Firstly we study some properties on the optimal solutions of this optimization problem under…
We study policy optimization in Stackelberg mean field games (MFGs), a hierarchical framework for modeling the strategic interaction between a single leader and an infinitely large population of homogeneous followers. The objective can be…
This work studies Nash equilibria for games where a mixture of coordinating and anti-coordinating agents, with possibly heterogeneous thresholds, coexist and interact through an all-to-all network. Whilst games with only coordinating or…
This paper examines the integration of computational complexity into game theoretic models. The example focused on is the Prisoner's Dilemma, repeated for a finite length of time. We show that a minimal bound on the players' computational…
It is well-known that the intersection of the matching polytope with a cardinality constraint is integral [8]. We prove a similar result for the polytope corresponding to the transportation problem with market choice (TPMC) (introduced in…
In order to coordinate players in a game must first identify a target pattern of behaviour. In this paper we investigate the difficulty of identifying prominent outcomes in two kinds of binary action coordination problems in social…
This letter employs differential game theory to address the defense problem of a circular target area with perception constraints, involving a single defender and a single attacker. The defender is restricted to moving along the perimeter,…
An aircraft conflict occurs when two or more aircraft cross at a certain distance at the same time. Specific air traffic controllers are assigned to solve such conflicts. A controller needs to consider various types of information in order…
We consider the reachability problem for higher-order functional programs and study the relationship between reachability games (i.e., the reachability problem for programs with angelic and demonic nondeterminism) and may-reachability…
The most common procedure to solve a linear bilevel problem in the PES community is, by far, to transform it into an equivalent single-level problem by replacing the lower level with its KKT optimality conditions. Then, the complementarity…
We consider nonlinear optimization problems with cardinality constraints. Based on a continuous reformulation we introduce second order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions. Under such a second order condition, we can guarantee…
We propose and investigate a general class of discrete time and finite state space mean field game (MFG) problems with potential structure. Our model incorporates interactions through a congestion term and a price variable. It also allows…
We establish a probabilistic framework for analysing extended mean-field games with multi-dimensional singular controls and state-dependent jump dynamics and costs. Two key challenges arise when analysing such games: the state dynamics may…
In the literature, several different identification problems in graphs have been studied, the most widely studied such problems are the ones based on dominating sets as a tool of identification. Hereby, the objective is to separate any two…
