We propose a new method for 3D-mesh model characteristic view selection. It consists in using the views that come from the equilibrium states of a 3D-model: they correspond to the horizontal plane on which an object is statically laying under the effect of gravity. The selected views are then very intuitive for the user. Indeed, to present a query, the user will take a photo or draw a sketch of...

This paper considers the optimal design of unemployment insurance (UI) within an equilibrium matching framework when wages are determined by strategic bargaining. Unlike the Nash bargaining approach, reducing UI payments with duration is welfare increasing. A co-ordinated policy approach, however, one that chooses job creation subsidies and UI optimally, implies a much greater welfare gain than...

A Nash equilibrium of a routing network represents a stable state of the network where no user finds it beneficial to unilaterally deviate from its routing strategy. In this work, we investigate the structure of such equilibria within the context of a certain game that models selfish routing for a set of n users each shipping its traffic over a network consisting of m parallel links. In particu...

This study considers a multi-class network resource in a competitive market where each user endowed with an initial budget will purchase bandwidth from each class of the network resource to maximise its utility function. The authors use revenue as the utility function for the service provider, and enhance Kelly’s utility function by including delay as the quality of service (QoS) parameter for ...

We consider multiple access games in which primary users are interested in maximizing their confidential data rate at the minimum possible transmission power and secondary users employ eavesdropping as a leverage to maximize their data rate to a common destination at minimum transmission energy. For the non-cooperative static game, Nash equilibria in pure and mixed strategies are derived and sh...

MAC layer jamming is a common attack on wireless networks, which is easy to launch by the attacker and which is very effective in disrupting the service provided by the network. Most of the current MAC protocols for wireless networks, for example, IEEE 802.11, do not provide sufficient protection against MAC layer jamming attacks. In this paper, we first use a non-cooperative game model to char...

This paper analyzes the day-to-day adjustment process of users’ behaviors in a transport network which is affected by relevant alterations such as disruptions due to critical events cause impossibility use one or more links. For representing progressive flows on reach new equilibrium, discrete-time model proposed, based idea that people are bounded rational their choices, i.e. they often do not...

Traditionally, traffic assignment allocates trips to links in a traffic network. Nowadays it is also useful to recommend routes. Here, it is interesting to recommend routes that are as close as possible to the system optimum, while also considering the user equilibrium. To compute an approximation of such an assignment, we use a hybrid approach in which an optimization process based on an evolu...

In this paper, we study dynamic routing games where the decision of an user is spatio-temporal control. Each user ships its demand over time on a shared resource. We investigate the equilibrium of such systems and show the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium. In the second part, we study a stochastic congestion games where there is only one shared resource and the traffic is indivisible. Th...
