交换网络中局部动力学收敛于平衡结果
Convergence of Local Dynamics to Balanced Outcomes in Exchange Networks
摘要:
交换网络上的讨价还价游戏已经被经济学家和社会学家研究过了。这种博弈的均衡结果是一个结合了稳定和公平概念的均衡概念。在最近的一篇论文中,Kleinberg和Tardos向计算机科学社区介绍了平衡结果,并提供了一个多项式时间算法来计算这些结果的集合。他们的工作留下了一个相关的问题:是否存在自然的、局部的动态,可以迅速收敛到一个平衡的结果?在本文中,我们提供了一个部分的答案,这个问题表明,简单的边缘平衡动态收敛到一个平衡的结果,只要存在。
英文摘要:
Bargaining games on exchange networks have been studied by both economists and sociologists. A Balanced Outcome for such a game is an equilibrium concept that combines notions of stability and fairness. In a recent paper, Kleinberg and Tardos introduced balanced outcomes to the computer science community and provided a polynomial-time algorithm to compute the set of such outcomes. Their work left open a pertinent question: are there natural, local dynamics that converge quickly to a balanced outcome? In this paper, we provide a partial answer to this question by showing that simple edge-balancing dynamics converge to a balanced outcome whenever one exists.
