A Pseudo-Polynomial Algorithm for Computing Power Indices in Graph-Restricted Weighted Voting Games
Weighted voting games allow for studying the distribution of power between agents in situations of collective decision making. While the conventional version of these games assumes that any agent is always ready to cooperate with all others, recently, more involved models have been proposed, where c...

Spreading of ideas in a social network is usually modelled in the literature as a stochastic process. However, in many real-life applications the exact course of the diffusion can be guided by a certain individual or authority. Given this background, we analyse a setting in which the process of spre...

Strategic Evasion of Centrality Measures
Among the most fundamental tools for social network analysis are centrality measures, which are designed to rank nodes according to various criteria. Similarly to other tools, they were built around the assumption that individuals in the network do not act strategically to evade analysis. Even the c...

Hide and seek game with heterogenous hiding places
We study a conflict with multiple battlefields where two players, the hider and the seeker, choose their respective numbers of hiding places. The hiding places have different values and the score of the hider is the sum of values of the places chosen by him and not chosen by the seeker. The score of...

An Axiomatization of the Eigenvector and Katz Centralities
Feedback centralities are one of the key classes of centrality measures. They assess the importance of a vertex recursively, based on the importance of its neighbours. Feedback centralities includes the Eigenvector Centrality, as well as its variants, such as the Katz Centrality or the PageRank, and...

Self-Stabilization Through the Lens of Game Theory
In 1974 E.W. Dijkstra introduced the seminal concept of self-stabilization that turned out to be one of the main approaches to fault-tolerant computing. We show here how his three solutions can be formalized and reasoned about using the concepts of game theory. We also determine the precise number o...

Identifying the best agent in a network
This paper develops a mechanism for a principal to assign a prize to the most valuable agent from a set of heterogeneously valued agents in a network. The principal does not know the value of any agent. Agents are competing for the prize and they have a "knowledge network": If two agents are linked,...

On Strong Equilibria and Improvement Dynamics in Network Creation Games
We study strong equilibria in network creation games. These form a classical and well-studied class of games where a set of players form a network by buying edges to their neighbors at a cost of a fixed parameter a. The cost of a player is defined to be the cost of the bought edges plus the sum of d...

Attachment Centrality for Weighted Graphs
Measuring how central nodes are in terms of connecting a network has recently received increasing attention in the literature and a few dedicated centrality measures have been proposed. One of them is the Attachment Centrality that is the only one that satisfies certain natural axioms desirable for ...
