Incentive-based fault tolerant control of distributed weakly acyclic games

Abstract

This paper considers a class of distributed weakly acyclic games under best replies, where the faults appearing in decision level maliciously provide the additional payoff to players by changing the decision mechanism. Firstly, the admissible interval of each player’s payoff is established around the optimal payoff in the healthy case; Secondly, the fault tolerance as well as the incentive-based fault tolerant control is discussed in the faulty case; Finally, an example of distributed traffic routing is used to show the effectiveness of the methods.
