“…The concept of price of anarchy (PoA) has been widely used in economics and in game theory and mechanism design theory, to measure the performance degradation of a system due to the selfish decisions made by independent players (Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou, 1999). The PoA measuring how the efficiency of a system degrades due to selfish behaviour of its players as the ratio of the social utility at a Nash equilibrium divided by optimal social utility (the social utility being the sum of utilities over all players), for example in network economics (Amrani et al, 2018a;Ait Omar et al, 2019b).…”

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) ad-hoc network has been receiving enormous attention from the research community, since they represent a new potential market. One promising application is to use UAVs in wireless communications field as a flying base station to extend coverage and to provide high-quality network connectivity. In this paper, we model and analyse the interactions in price, beaconing duration and quality of service among UAV. A full analysis of the game outcome, in terms of equilibrium price, equilibrium quality of service and equilibrium beaconing duration, is derived. Then we analyse the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium point under some conditions. Furthermore, we provide a learning algorithm that ensures convergence of the considered UAV with its unique Nash equilibrium operating point in a fast and distributed fashion. Finally, numerical investigations offer promising insights on how the game parameters should be chosen to efficiently control the game.

We propose in this paper an investigation of the dynamical behaviors of a duopoly model with two Internet services providers (ISPs). The competition between them is assumed to take place in terms of their pricing decisions and their number of cached items. According to the ISPs’ rationality level, we consider a scenario where both ISPs are bounded rational. Each ISP in any period uses the marginal profit observed from the previous period to choose its strategies. We compute explicitly the steady states of the dynamic system induced by bounded rationality and establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of its Nash equilibrium (NE). Numerical simulations show that if some parameters of the model are varied, the stability of the NE point is lost and the complex (periodic or chaotic) behavior occurs. The chaotic behavior of the system is stabilized on the NE point by applying control.

With a sponsored content plan on the Internet market, a content provider (CP) negotiates with the Internet service providers (ISPs) on behalf of the end-users to remove the network subscription fees. In this work, we have studied the impact of data sponsoring plans on the decision-making strategies of the ISPs and the CPs in the telecommunications market. We develop game-theoretic models to study the interaction between providers (CPs and ISPs), where the CPs sponsor content. We formulate the interactions between the ISPs and between the CPs as a noncooperative game. We have shown the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium. We used the best response dynamic algorithm for learning the Nash equilibrium. Finally, extensive simulations show the convergence of a proposed schema to the Nash equilibrium and show the effect of the sponsoring content on providers’ policies.
