Breaking Blockchain Rationality with Out-of-Band Collusion

Bryan Alexander Ford, Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes, Louis-Henri Manuel Jakob Merino, Haoqian Zhang, Mahsa Bastankhah

Blockchain systems often rely on rationality assumptions for their security, expecting that nodes are motivated to maximize their profits. These systems thus design their protocols to incentivize nodes to execute the honest protocol but fail to consider ou ...

New Perspectives on Regularization and Computation in Optimal Transport-Based Distributionally Robust Optimization

Daniel Kuhn, Florian Dörfler, Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh

We study optimal transport-based distributionally robust optimization problems where a fictitious adversary, often envisioned as nature, can choose the distribution of the uncertain problem parameters by reshaping a prescribed reference distribution at a f ...

Equilibria in Network Constrained Energy Markets

Leonardo Massai

We study an energy market composed of producers who compete to supply energy to different markets and want to maximize their profits. The energy market is modeled by a graph representing a constrained power network where nodes represent the markets and lin ...

Ride-hail vehicle routing (RIVER) as a congestion game

Kenan Zhang

The RIde-hail VEhicle Routing (RIVER) problem describes how drivers in a ride-hail market form a dynamic routing strategy according to the expected reward in each zone of the market. We model this decision-making problem as a Markov decision process (MDP), ...

Adversarial Training Should Be Cast As a Non-Zero-Sum Game

Volkan Cevher, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Fabian Ricardo Latorre Gomez

One prominent approach toward resolving the adversarial vulnerability of deep neural networks is the two-player zero-sum paradigm of adversarial training, in which predictors are trained against adversarially-chosen perturbations of data. Despite the promi ...

Safe multi-agent deep reinforcement learning for joint bidding and maintenance scheduling of generation units

Olga Fink, Mina Montazeri

This paper proposes a safe reinforcement learning algorithm for generation bidding decisions and unit maintenance scheduling in a competitive electricity market environment. In this problem, each unit aims to find a bidding strategy that maximizes its reve ...

Price discrimination with robust beliefs

Thomas Alois Weber, Jun Han

This paper considers the problem of second-degree price discrimination when the type distribution is unknown or imperfectly specified by means of an ambiguity set. As robustness measure we use a performance index, equivalent to relative regret, which quant ...

Identifying invariant solutions of wall-bounded three-dimensional shear flows using robust adjoint-based variational techniques

Tobias Schneider, Omid Ashtari

Invariant solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations play an important role in the spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics of turbulent shear flows. Despite the significance of these solutions, their identification remains a computational challenge, rendering many ...

Hierarchical Pricing Game for Balancing the Charging of Ride-Hailing Electric Fleets

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nils Gustav Nilsson, Marko Maljkovic

Due to the ever-increasing popularity of ride-hailing services and the indisputable shift towards alternative fuel vehicles, the intersection of the ride-hailing market and smart electric mobility provides an opportunity to trade different services to achi ...

How Many Are Too Many? Analyzing Dockless Bike-Sharing Systems with a Parsimonious Model

Kenan Zhang

Using a parsimonious model, this paper analyzes a dockless bike-sharing (DLB) service that competes with walking and a generic motorized mode. The DLB operator chooses a fleet size and a fare schedule that dictate the level of service (LOS) as measured by ...
