Relaxed Core Stability for Hedonic Games with Size-Dependent Utilities

Authors: Tom Demeulemeester and Jannik Peters

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 272, 48th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2023)


Abstract
We study relationships between different relaxed notions of core stability in hedonic games. In particular, we study (i) q-size core stable outcomes in which no deviating coalition of size at most q exists and (ii) k-improvement core stable outcomes in which no coalition can improve by a factor of more than k. For a large class of hedonic games, including fractional and additively separable hedonic games, we derive upper bounds on the maximum factor by which a coalition of a certain size can improve in a q-size core stable outcome. We further provide asymptotically tight lower bounds for a large class of hedonic games. Finally, our bounds allow us to confirm two conjectures by Fanelli et al. [Angelo Fanelli et al., 2021][IJCAI'21] for symmetric fractional hedonic games (S-FHGs): (i) every q-size core stable outcome in an S-FHG is also q/(q-1)-improvement core stable and (ii) the price of anarchy of q-size stability in S-FHGs is precisely 2q/q-1.

On Approximate Pure Nash Equilibria in Weighted Congestion Games with Polynomial Latencies

Authors: Ioannis Caragiannis and Angelo Fanelli

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 132, 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2019)


Abstract
We consider the problem of the existence of natural improvement dynamics leading to approximate pure Nash equilibria, with a reasonable small approximation, and the problem of bounding the efficiency of such equilibria in the fundamental framework of weighted congestion game with polynomial latencies of degree at most d >= 1. In this work, by exploiting a simple technique, we firstly show that the game always admits a d-approximate potential function. This implies that every sequence of d-approximate improvement moves by the players always leads the game to a d-approximate pure Nash equilibrium. As a corollary, we also obtain that, under mild assumptions on the structure of the players' strategies, the game always admits a constant approximate potential function. Secondly, by using a simple potential function argument, we are able to show that in the game there always exists a (d+delta)-approximate pure Nash equilibrium, with delta in [0,1], whose cost is 2/(1+delta) times the cost of an optimal state.

Simple Greedy Algorithms for Fundamental Multidimensional Graph Problems

Authors: Vittorio Bilò, Ioannis Caragiannis, Angelo Fanelli, Michele Flammini, and Gianpiero Monaco

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 80, 44th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2017)


Abstract
We revisit fundamental problems in undirected and directed graphs, such as the problems of computing spanning trees, shortest paths, steiner trees, and spanning arborescences of minimum cost. We assume that there are d different cost functions associated with the edges of the input graph and seek for solutions to the resulting multidimensional graph problems so that the p-norm of the different costs of the solution is minimized. We present combinatorial algorithms that achieve very good approximations for this objective. The main advantage of our algorithms is their simplicity: they are as simple as classical combinatorial graph algorithms of Dijkstra and Kruskal, or the greedy algorithm for matroids.

Ride Sharing with a Vehicle of Unlimited Capacity

Authors: Angelo Fanelli and Greco Gianluigi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 58, 41st International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2016)


Abstract
A ride sharing problem is considered where we are given a graph, whose edges are equipped with a travel cost, plus a set of objects, each associated with a transportation request given by a pair of origin and destination nodes. A vehicle travels through the graph, carrying each object from its origin to its destination without any bound on the number of objects that can be simultaneously transported. The vehicle starts and terminates its ride at given nodes, and the goal is to compute a minimum-cost ride satisfying all requests. This ride sharing problem is shown to be tractable on paths by designing a O(h*log(h)+n) algorithm, with h being the number of distinct requests and with n being the number of nodes in the path. The algorithm is then used as a subroutine to efficiently solve instances defined over cycles, hence covering all graphs with maximum degree 2. This traces the frontier of tractability, since NP-hard instances are exhibited over trees whose maximum degree is 3.
