The complexity of equilibria for risk-modeling valuations
Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (2016)Following the direction pioneered by Fiat and Papadimitriou in their 2010 paper [12], we study the complexity of deciding the existence of mixed equilibria for minimization games where players use valuations other than ...

The complexity of pure equilibria in mix-weighted congestion games on parallel links
Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (2015)We revisit the simple class of weighted congestion games on parallel links [10], where each player has a non-negative weight and her cost on the link she chooses is the sum of the weights of all players choosing the link. ...

Computing Nash equilibria for scheduling on restricted parallel links
Gairing, M.; Lücking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (2010)We consider the problem of routing nusers on m parallel links under the restriction that each user may only be routed on a link from a certain set of allowed links for the user. So, this problem is equivalent to the ...

Conditional Value-at-Risk: Structure and complexity of equilibria
Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (2020)Conditional Value-at-Risk, denoted as CVaRα, is becoming the prevailing measure of risk over two paramount economic domains: the insurance domain and the financial domain

Congestion games with player-specific constants
Mavronicolas, Marios; Milchtaich, I.; Monien, Burkhard; Tiemann, K. (2007)We consider a special case of weighted congestion games with player-specific latency functions where each player uses for each particular resource a fixed (non-decreasing) delay function together with a player-specific ...

Extreme Nash equilibria
Gairing, M.; Lucking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Spirakis, Paul G. (2003)We study the combinatorial structure and computational complexity of extreme Nash equilibria, ones that maximize or minimize a certain objective function, in the context of a selfish routing game. Specifically, we assume ...

How many attackers can selfish defenders catch?
Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou (2013)In a distributed system with attacks and defenses, both attackers and defenders are self-interested entities. We assume a reward-sharing scheme among interdependent defenders

How many attackers can selfish defenders catch?
Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou (2008)In a distributed system with attacks and defenses, an economic investment in defense mechanisms aims at increasing the degree of system protection against the attacks. We study such investments in the selfish setting, where ...

Minimizing Expectation Plus Variance
Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (2015)We consider strategic games in which each player seeks a mixed strategy to minimize her cost evaluated by a concave valuationV (mapping probability distributions to reals)

Nash equilibria for voronoi games on transitive graphs
Feldmann, R.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (2009)In a Voronoi game, each of κ≥2 players chooses a vertex in a graph G=〈V(G), E(G)〉. The utility of a player measures her Voronoi cell: the set of vertices that are closest to her chosen vertex than to that of another player. ...

Nash equilibria in discrete routing games with convex latency functions
Gairing, M.; Lücking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Rode, M. (2004)We study Nash equilibria in a discrete routing game that combines features of the two most famous models for non-cooperative routing, the KP model [16] and the Wardrop model [27]. In our model, users share parallel links. ...

Nash equilibria in discrete routing games with convex latency functions
Gairing, M.; Lücking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Rode, M. (2008)In a discrete routing game, each of n selfish users employs a mixed strategy to ship her (unsplittable) traffic over m parallel links. The (expected) latency on a link is determined by an arbitrary non-decreasing, non-constant ...

A new model for selfish routing
Lücking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Rode, M. (2008)In this work, we introduce and study a new, potentially rich model for selfish routing over non-cooperative networks, as an interesting hybridization of the two prevailing such models, namely the KPmodel [E. Koutsoupias, ...

NP-hardness of equilibria in case of risk-averse players
Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (Springer International Publishing, 2018)We study the complexity of deciding the existence of mixed equilibria for minimization games where players use valuations other than expectation to evaluate their costs. We consider risk-averse players seeking to minimize ...

The price of anarchy for polynomial social cost
Gairing, M.; Lücking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (2006)In this work, we consider an interesting variant of the well studied KP model for selfish routing on parallel links, which reflects some influence from the much older Wardrop model [J.G. Wardrop, Some theoretical aspects ...

In the new model, user traffics are still unsplittable, ...
