| Consider a set of users sharing a network node under an allocation scheme that provides each user with a xed minimum and a random extra amount of bandwidth and buuer. Allocations and prices are adjusted to adapt to resource availability and user demands. Equilibrium is achieved when all users optimize their utility and demand equals supply for non-free resources. We analyze two models of user...

This paper proposes a new algorithm for finding disaggregate user equilibrium on a congested network, in which a driver is assumed to be an agent who learns from driving experiences to get maximal payoffs under the condition of incomplete travel information. Day-to-day route choice behaviours of each driver are formulated as a kind of repeated game with learning, and a simple adoptive procedure...

Cognitive jammers are able to deploy advanced strategies that degrade the performance of cognitive radio user communications. In this paper, we study the problem of power allocation in cognitive radio user and jammer games, over parallel Gaussian channels. We model the interaction between a communicator (a transmitter-receiver pair) and a jammer using zero-sum games with continuous action sets;...

Today's large scale networks such as the Internet emerge from the interconnection of privately owned networks and serve heterogeneous users with different service needs. The service providers of these networks are interested in maximizing their profit. Since the existing pricing scheme cannot satisfy their needs, the service providers are looking for new pricing mechanisms. However, designing a...

In this paper we summarize a dual-time scale formulation of dynamic user equilibrium with demand growth due to Friesz et al (2008). This formulation belongs to the problem class that Pang and Stewart (2008) refer to as di¤erential variational inequalities. We also present a …xed point algorithm for computing solutions to the dual time-scale model without calculating derivatives, along with a nu...

This paper presents a solution to the user equilibrium Dynamic Traffic Routing (DTR) problem for a point diversion case using feedback control methodology. The sliding mode control technique which is a robust control methodology applicable to nonlinear systems in canonical form is employed to solve the user equilibrium DTR problem. The canonical form for this problem is obtained by using feedba...

In this paper we propose a composite Variational Inequality formulation for modeling multi-mode, multi-class and multi-criteria stochastic dynamic user equilibrium problem in recurrent congestion network with queues. The each mode of travelers is classified into two classes. One is the equipped traveler following stochastic dynamic user-equilibrium with less uncertainty of travel cost, another ...

The interdependent nature of security on the Internet causes a negative externality that results in under-investment in technologybased defences. Previous research suggests that, in such an environment, cyber-insurance may serve as an important tool not only to manage risks but also to improve the incentives for investment in security. This paper investigates how competitive cyber-insurers affe...
