Toward this end, we introduce the notion of generalized smoothness, and show that the resulting efficiency bounds are significantly tighter compared to those ...

Nov 18, 2019 · Abstract:The price of anarchy (PoA) is a popular metric for analyzing the inefficiency of self-interested decision making.

A commonly employed approach is based on the smoothness framework, which provides tight PoA values under the assumption that the system objective consists in ...

In this section, we show how generalized smoothness can be used in order to provide concrete and tight bounds on the price-of-anarchy for the class of local ...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized smoothness in order to overcome these difficulties. First, we show that generalized smoothness arguments ...

This work introduces the notion of generalized smoothness, and shows how the agents' local decision rules can be designed in order to optimize the ...

Mar 16, 2021 · In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized smoothness in order to overcome these difficulties. First, we show that generalized ...

1) We demonstrate that price-of-anarchy bounds obtained via smoothness arguments are not tight if the sum of players' local cost functions is not equal to the ...
