A Near-Optimal Mechanism for Impartial Selection
We examine strategy-proof elections to select a winner amongst a set of agents, each of whom cares only about winning. This impartial selection problem was introduced independently by Holzman and Moulin [5] and Alon et al. [1]. Fisher and Klimm [4] showed that the permutation mechanism is impartial and 1 2 -optimal, that is, it selects an agent who gains, in expectation, at least half the numbe...
متن کاملInfinite Cyclic Impartial Games
We define the family of locally path-bounded digraphs, which is a class of infinite digraphs, and show that on this class it is relatively easy to compute an optimal strategy (winning or nonlosing); and realize a win, when possible, in a finite number of moves. This is done by proving that the Generalized Sprague-Grundy function exists uniquely and has finite values on this class.
متن کاملOptimal Coding Subgraph Selection under Survivability Constraint
Nowadays communication networks have become an essential and inevitable part of human life. Hence, there is an ever-increasing need for expanding bandwidth, decreasing delay and data transfer costs. These needs necessitate the efficient use of network facilities. Network coding is a new paradigm that allows the intermediate nodes in a network to create new packets by combining the packets recei...
متن کاملImpartial Peer Review
Motivated by a radically new peer review system that the National Science Foundation recently experimented with, we study peer review systems in which proposals are reviewed by PIs who have submitted proposals themselves. An (m, k)-selection mechanism asks each PI to reviewm proposals, and uses these reviews to select (at most) k proposals. We are interested in impartial mechanisms, which guara...
متن کاملThree-player impartial games
Past efforts to classify impartial three-player combinatorial games (the theories of Li [3] and Straffin [4]) have made various restrictive assumptions about the rationality of one’s opponents and the formation and behavior of coalitions. One may instead adopt an agnostic attitude towards such issues, and seek only to understand in what circumstances one player has a winning strategy against th...
