This paper considers dynamic (multi-stage) signaling games involving an encoder and a decoder who have subjective models on the cost functions. We consider both Nash (simultaneous-move) and Stackelberg (leader-follower) equilibria of…

A class of graphs $\mathscr{C}$ is monadically stable if for any unary expansion $\widehat{\mathscr{C}}$ of $\mathscr{C}$, one cannot interpret, in first-order logic, arbitrarily long linear orders in graphs from $\widehat{\mathscr{C}}$. It…

We study the existence and computation of Nash equilibria in concave games where the players' admissible strategies are subject to shared coupling constraints. Under playerwise concavity of constraints, we prove existence of Nash…

Symmetric strategy improvement is an algorithm introduced by Schewe et al. (ICALP 2015) that can be used to solve two-player games on directed graphs such as parity games and mean payoff games. In contrast to the usual well-known strategy…

We study finite-horizon two-player zero-sum differential games with one-sided payoff information ($G$), where the informed player (P1) knows the game payoff, while P2 only has a public belief over a finite set of possible payoffs. In this…

This paper deals with stability of discrete-time switched linear systems whose all subsystems are unstable. We present sufficient conditions on the subsystems matrices such that a switched system is globally exponentially stable under a set…

The notion of $P$-stability of an infinite set of degree sequences plays influential role in approximating the permanents, rapidly sampling the realizations of graphic degree sequences, or even studying and improving network privacy. While…

We study the stabilization time of a wide class of processes on graphs, in which each node can only switch its state if it is motivated to do so by at least a $\frac{1+\lambda}{2}$ fraction of its neighbors, for some $0 < \lambda < 1$. Two…

This paper deals with stability of discrete-time switched linear systems whose all subsystems are unstable and the set of admissible switching signals obeys pre-specified restrictions on switches between the subsystems and dwell times on…

We introduce a new non-zero-sum game of optimal stopping with asymmetric exercise opportunities. Given a stochastic process modelling the value of an asset, one player observes and can act on the process continuously, while the other player…

In the $(s,d)$-spy game over a graph, introduced by Cohen et al. in 2016, one spy and $k$ guards occupy vertices of a graph and, at each turn, each guard may move along one edge and the spy may move along at most $s$ edges. The guards win…

We study the following game version of the generalized graph Tur\'an problem. For two fixed graphs $F$ and $H$, two players, Constructor and Blocker, alternately claim unclaimed edges of the complete graph $K_n$. Constructor can only claim…

Quint and Shubik (1997) conjectured that a non-degenerate n-by-n game has at most 2^n-1 Nash equilibria in mixed strategies. The conjecture is true for n at most 4 but false for n=6 or larger. We answer it positively for the remaining case…

A zero-sum two person Perfect Information Stochastic game (PISG) under limiting average payoff has a value and both the maximiser and the minimiser have optimal pure stationary strategies. Firstly we form the matrix of undiscounted payoffs…

Parity games are games that are played on directed graphs whose vertices are labeled by natural numbers, called priorities. The players push a token along the edges of the digraph. The winner is determined by the parity of the greatest…

We prove that if $G=(V,E)$ is an $\omega$-stable (respectively, superstable) graph with $\chi(G)>\aleph_0$ (respectively, $2^{\aleph_0}$) then $G$ contains all the finite subgraphs of the shift graph $\text{Sh}_n(\omega)$ for some $n$. We…
