Regular Coalition Formation∗
نویسنده
چکیده
I study a class of stochastic games of bargaining and coalition formation with finite state space and continuous agreement sets. Equilibria may involve mixing on the part of proposers and coalition partners and the possibility of delay, and can support the entire spectrum of feasible coalitions. After removing inconsequential multiplicities of equilibrium, I establish that outside a closed, measure zero set of parameters there exists a finite, odd number of equilibria and each equilibrium is locally expressible as a smooth function of model parameters.

Multi-Robot Coalition Formation (REGULAR PAPER)
As the community strives towards autonomous multi-robot systems, there is a need for these systems to autonomously form coalitions to complete assigned missions. Numerous coalition formation algorithms have been proposed in the software agent literature. Algorithms exist that form agent coalitions in both super additive and non-super additive environments. The algorithmic techniques vary from n...
متن کاملChallenges in Distributed Coalition Formation among Collaborative Multi-Agent Systems: An Experimental Case Study on Small-World Networks
We study collaborative multi-agent coalition formation in a fully decentralized, resource-bounded setting. In that context, we analyze, simulate and optimize Maximal Clique based Distributed Coalition Formation (MCDCF) algorithm. We continue our experimental, simulation-based investigation of MCDCF performance on types of underlying graphs that various research communities find important. In pa...

Sharing economy, a distributed peer-to-peer eco-nomic paradigm, gives rise to a variety of social interactionsfor economic reasons. One common distributed decision-makingprocess is the coalition formation to share certain replaceable re-sources collaboratively, for example, sharing hotel rooms amongtravelers, sharing taxi-rides among passengers, and sharingregular passes...
متن کاملThe National Coalition for Sustained Optimal Iodine intake (NSOI): a case study of a successful experience from India.
Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) constitute the single most important preventable cause of mental handicap at global level. Recognizing the importance of coordination and synergy of the activities of wide range of universal salt iodisation (USI) stakeholders, WHO/ Unicef/ ICCIDD has prescribed a national multi-sectoral coalition as one of the ten indicators essential for attaining sustainable ...
متن کاملThroughput-Efficient Dynamic Coalition Formation in Distributed Cognitive Radio Networks
We formulate the problem of distributed throughput-efficient sensing in cognitive radio (CR) networks as a dynamic coalition formation game based on a Markovian model. The proposed coalition formation enables the CRs to increase their achievable throughput, under the detection probability constraint, while also taking into account the overhead in sensing reports combining. The dynamic model of ...
