Network formation with heterogeneous players
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper extends the connections model of network formation by allowing for players who are heterogeneous with respect to values as well as the costs of forming links. Our principal result is that centrality and short average distances between individuals are robust features of equilibrium networks. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. JEL classification: C72

Optimal Strategies to Evade Jamming in Heterogeneous Mobile Networks
In this paper, we consider a scenario in which a mobile intruder jams the communication network in a vehicular formation. We formulate the problem as a zero-sum pursuitevasion game with players possessing heterogeneous dynamics. We use Isaacs’ approach to derive the necessary conditions to arrive at the equations governing the saddle-point strategies of the team of players.
متن کاملRate Allocation Based on Coalition Formation Game in Low Power Collaborative Transmission
To realize collaborative transmission in wireless overlay access networks, the question of rate allocation arises as how to divide the traffic flow among heterogeneous networks. Different networks role as game players and they try to transmit the traffic flow by a cooperative method. Power costs and transmission capabilities in heterogeneous networks are different according to terminal position...
متن کاملLearning to Coordinate by Forward Looking Players
Experiments show that players with identical information and objectives have heterogeneous behavior rules. We formulate how different beliefs arise from the same information and analyze how heterogeneous belief formation affects learning outcomes of two-person two-action coordination games. With heterogeneous belief formation, it is possible to generate enough diversity in actions for eventual ...
متن کاملCollaboration Network Formation and the Demand for Problem Solvers with Heterogenous Skills
Collaborative problem solving is important in a wide range of contexts, including economic production, product development, academic research, and policy making. Here, I present a formal model of collaborative problem solving, in which individuals with heterogeneous skill sets collaborate to solve problems. I show that the number of problems an individual solves is a supermodular function of he...
متن کاملComputing Optimal Tolls with Arc Restrictions and Heterogeneous Players
The problem of computing optimal network tolls that induce a Nash equilibrium of minimum total cost has been studied intensively in the literature, but mostly under the assumption that these tolls are unrestricted. Here we consider this problem under the more realistic assumption that the tolls have to respect some given upper bound restrictions on the arcs. The problem of taxing subnetworks op...
