We aim at characterizing the functions that could be explained (recoverable) as a best reply of payoff-maximizing players in contests for a fixed prize. We show that recoverability strongly differs between Decisive Contests, where the prize is allocated with certainty, and Possibly Indecisive Contests, where the prize might not be awarded. In the latter, any arbitrary set of best reply functions is recoverable, thus "anything goes." In the former, best reply functions have to satisfy strong conditions in some cases. We provide an outline of possible applications of our results to R & D and labor markets.
我们的目标是描述函数的特征,这些函数可以解释为(可恢复的)在争夺固定奖金的比赛中收益最大化的玩家的最佳回答。我们表明,可恢复性在决定性比赛(奖金分配是确定的)和可能不授予奖金的非决定性比赛(可能不授予奖金)之间存在很大差异。在后一种情况下,任意一组最佳回复函数都是可恢复的,因此“一切正常”。在前者中,最佳回复函数在某些情况下必须满足强条件。我们概述了我们的研究结果在研发和劳动力市场上的可能应用。

Opening the source code: The threat of forking 打开源代码:分叉的威胁

Making software open source can have substantial positive effects on the quality and diffusion of a software and strengthen the sales of complementary products. However, it is a large concern of firms that a competitor might use the very same source code to start its own competitive project, a so-called fork. This paper analyzes whether the threat of forking prevents a firm to open its source code. We consider three different regimes: In the first regime a firm develops and sells software under a proprietary license, in the second regime, it uses an open source business model. The third regime is characterized by the competition of two related open source projects. The switching times between the regimes are optimally determined. We find that the optimal strategy substantially depends on the initial state value and the extent to which a competitor can make use of the firm's software quality. A small initial software quality can prevent a firm to open the code when it cannot afford competition, only with a competitive advantage open source is attractive then. For a large initial software quality, a firm would never open the code immediately, it would either wait or keep it proprietary forever.
使软件开源可以对软件的质量和传播产生实质性的积极影响,并加强互补产品的销售。然而,公司非常担心竞争对手可能会使用相同的源代码来启动自己的竞争项目,即所谓的分叉。本文分析了分叉的威胁是否会阻止公司开放其源代码。我们考虑了三种不同的制度:在第一种制度下,公司在专有许可下开发和销售软件,在第二种制度下,它使用开源商业模式。第三种机制的特点是两个相关的开源项目之间的竞争。两种制度之间的转换时间是最佳确定的。我们发现,最优策略基本上取决于初始状态值和竞争对手可以利用公司软件质量的程度。一个小的初始软件质量可能会阻止公司在无法承受竞争的情况下开放代码,只有在具有竞争优势的情况下开放源代码才具有吸引力。对于一个大的初始软件质量,公司永远不会立即开放代码,它要么等待,要么永远保留它的所有权。

Motivated by an optimal visiting problem, we study a switching mean-field game on a network, where both a decisional and a switching time-variable are at disposal of the agents for what concerns, respectively, the instant to decide and the instant to perform the switch. Every switch between the nodes of the network represents a switch from begin{document}$ 0 $end{document} to begin{document}$ 1 $end{document} of one component of the string begin{document}$ p = (p_1, ldots, p_n) $end{document} which, in the optimal visiting interpretation, gives information on the visited targets, being the targets labeled by begin{document}$ i = 1, ldots, n $end{document}. The goal is to reach the final string begin{document}$ (1, ldots, 1) $end{document} in the final time begin{document}$ T $end{document}, minimizing a switching cost also depending on the congestion on the nodes. We prove the existence of a suitable definition of an approximated begin{document}$ varepsilon $end{document}-mean-field equilibrium and then address the passage to the limit when begin{document}$ varepsilon $end{document} goes to begin{document}$ 0 $end{document}.

The presence of big data may adversely affect obtaining classification accuracy in many life applications, such as genes dataset, which can contain many unnecessary data in the classification process. In this study, a two-stage mathematical model is proposed through which the features are selected. The first stage relies on the Fuzzy Statistical Dependence (FSD) technique, which is one of the filter techniques, and in the second stage, the Binary Bat Algorithm (BBA) is used, which depends on an appropriate fitness function to select important parameters. The experimental results proved that the proposed algorithm, which we refer to as FSD-BBA, excels over other methods in terms of classification accuracy and the number of influencing genes selected.
在许多生命应用中,大数据的存在可能会影响分类精度的获得,如基因数据集,在分类过程中可能包含许多不必要的数据。在本研究中,提出了一个两阶段的数学模型,通过该模型来选择特征。第一阶段采用滤波技术之一的模糊统计依赖(FSD)技术,第二阶段采用二进制蝙蝠算法(BBA),该算法依赖于合适的适应度函数来选择重要参数。实验结果证明,我们所提出的算法,我们称之为FSD-BBA,在分类精度和选择的影响基因数量方面都优于其他方法。

The dynamics of fitness and wealth distributions — a stochastic game-theoretic model 适应性和财富分布的动态——一个随机博弈论模型
IF 0.9 Q3 MATHEMATICS, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.3934/jdg.2022016
Sylvain Gibaud, J. Weibull
A model of the dynamics of distributions of individual wealth, or of individual Darwinian fitness, is here developed. Pairs of individuals are recurrently and randomly matched to play a game over a resource. In addition, all individuals have random access to a constant background source, and their fitness or wealth depreciates over time. For brevity, we focus on the well-known Hawk-Dove game. In the base-line model, the probability of winning a fight over a resource is the same for both parties. In an extended version, the individual with higher current fitness or wealth has a higher probability of winning. Analytical results are given for the fitness/wealth distribution at any given time, for the evolution of average fitness/wealth over time, and for the asymptotics with respect to both time and population size. Long-run average fitness/wealth is non-monotonic in the value of the resource, thus providing a potential explanation of the so-called curse of the riches.
个人财富分配的动态模型,或个人达尔文适应度的模型,在这里被开发出来。成对的个体会周期性地随机配对,以争夺资源进行游戏。此外,所有个体都可以随机获得一个恒定的背景资源,他们的健康或财富会随着时间的推移而贬值。为简洁起见,我们将重点介绍著名的鹰鸽游戏。在基线模型中,双方赢得资源争夺的概率是相同的。在一个扩展的版本中,具有更高当前健康或财富的个体具有更高的获胜概率。给出了任意给定时间的适应度/财富分布、平均适应度/财富随时间的演化以及关于时间和人口规模的渐近性的分析结果。长期平均健康/财富在资源价值上是非单调的,从而为所谓的财富诅咒提供了一种潜在的解释。

In this paper, we focus on stationary (ergodic) mean-field games (MFGs). These games arise in the study of the long-time behavior of finite-horizon MFGs. Motivated by a prior scheme for Hamilton–Jacobi equations introduced in Aubry–Mather's theory, we introduce a discrete approximation to stationary MFGs. Relying on Kakutani's fixed-point theorem, we prove the existence and uniqueness (up to additive constant) of solutions to the discrete problem. Moreover, we show that the solutions to the discrete problem converge, uniformly in the nonlocal case and weakly in the local case, to the classical solutions of the stationary problem.
本文主要研究平稳(遍历)平均场对策(mfg)。这些游戏是在研究有限视界mmo游戏的长期行为时出现的。在Aubry-Mather理论中引入的Hamilton-Jacobi方程的先验格式的激励下,我们引入了平稳mfg的离散逼近。利用Kakutani不动点定理,证明了离散问题解的存在唯一性(直至可加常数)。此外,我们还证明了离散问题的解在非局部情况下一致收敛于稳态问题的经典解,而在局部情况下则弱收敛于经典解。

On some singular mean-field games 关于一些奇异平均场对策

Here, we prove the existence of smooth solutions for mean-field games with a singular mean-field coupling; that is, a coupling in the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the form begin{document}$ g(m) = -m^{- alpha} $end{document} with begin{document}$ alpha>0 $end{document} . We consider stationary and time-dependent settings. The function begin{document}$ g $end{document} is monotone, but it is not bounded from below. With the exception of the logarithmic coupling, this is the first time that MFGs whose coupling is not bounded from below is examined in the literature. This coupling arises in models where agents have a strong preference for low-density regions. Paradoxically, this causes the agents move towards low-density regions and, thus, prevents the creation of those regions. To prove the existence of solutions, we consider an approximate problem for which the existence of smooth solutions is known. Then, we prove new a priori bounds for the solutions that show that begin{document}$ frac 1 m $end{document} is bounded. Finally, using a limiting argument, we obtain the existence of solutions. The proof in the stationary case relies on a blow-up argument and in the time-dependent case on new bounds for begin{document}$ m^{-1} $end{document} .
在这里,我们证明了具有奇异平均场耦合的平均场对策的光滑解的存在性;也就是说,形式为begin{document}$g(m)=-m^{-alpha}$end{document}的Hamilton-Jacobi方程中的一个耦合,其中begin{document}$alpha>0$end{document}。我们考虑静止和时间相关的设置。函数 begin{document}$g$ end{documents}是单调的,但它不是从下到下有界的。除了对数耦合,这是文献中首次对耦合不受下界限制的MFG进行研究。这种耦合出现在代理对低密度区域有强烈偏好的模型中。矛盾的是,这导致制剂向低密度区域移动,从而阻止了这些区域的形成。为了证明解的存在性,我们考虑一个已知光滑解存在的近似问题。然后,我们证明了这些解的新的先验界,这些先验界表明 begin{document}$ frac 1 m$ end{document}是有界的。最后,利用一个极限论证,我们得到了解的存在性。在平稳情况下的证明依赖于一个爆破参数,在与时间相关的情况下依赖于 begin{document}$m^{-1}$ end{document}的新边界。

We analyze hypotheses tests using classical results on large deviations to compare two models, each one described by a different Hölder Gibbs probability measure. One main difference to the classical hypothesis tests in Decision Theory is that here the two measures are singular with respect to each other. Among other objectives, we are interested in the decay rate of the wrong decisions probability, when the sample size begin{document}$ n $end{document} goes to infinity. We show a dynamical version of the Neyman-Pearson Lemma displaying the ideal test within a certain class of similar tests. This test becomes exponentially better, compared to other alternative tests, when the sample size goes to infinity. We are able to present the explicit exponential decay rate. We also consider both, the Min-Max and a certain type of Bayesian hypotheses tests. We shall consider these tests in the log likelihood framework by using several tools of Thermodynamic Formalism. Versions of the Stein's Lemma and Chernoff's information are also presented.
我们使用大偏差的经典结果来分析假设检验,以比较两个模型,每个模型由不同的Hölder-Gibbs概率测度描述。与决策理论中的经典假设检验的一个主要区别是,这里的两个度量相对于彼此是奇异的。在其他目标中,我们感兴趣的是当样本量开始{文档}$n$结束{文档}为无穷大时,错误决策概率的衰减率。我们展示了Neyman-Pearson引理的一个动态版本,它在某类类似测试中显示了理想测试。当样本量达到无穷大时,与其他替代测试相比,该测试变得指数级更好。我们能够给出显式的指数衰减率。我们还考虑了最小-最大和某种类型的贝叶斯假设检验。我们将使用热力学形式主义的几种工具,在对数似然框架中考虑这些测试。还介绍了斯坦因引理和切尔诺夫信息的版本。

This test becomes exponentially better, compared to other alternative tests, when the sample size goes to infinity. We are able to present the explicit exponential decay rate. We also consider both, the Min-Max and a certain type of Bayesian hypotheses tests. We shall consider these tests in the log likelihood framework by using several tools of Thermodynamic Formalism. Versions of the Stein's Lemma and Chernoff's information are also presented.","PeriodicalId":42722,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dynamics and Games","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48593571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work addresses the spread of the coronavirus through a non-parametric approach, with the aim of identifying communities of countries based on how similar their evolution of the disease is. The analysis focuses on the number of daily new COVID-19 cases per ten thousand people during a period covering at least 250 days after the confirmation of the tenth case. Dynamic analysis is performed by constructing Minimal Spanning Trees (MST) and identifying groups of similarity in contagions evolution in 95 time windows of a 150-day amplitude that moves one day at a time. The number of times countries belonged to a similar performance group in constructed time windows was the intensity measure considered. Groups' composition is not stable, indicating that the COVID-19 evolution needs to be treated as a dynamic problem in the context of complex systems. Three communities were identified by applying the Louvain algorithm. Identified communities analysis according to each country's socioeconomic characteristics and variables related to the disease sheds light on whether there is any suggested course of action. Even when strong testing and tracing cases policies may be related with a more stable dynamic of the disease, results indicate that communities are conformed by countries with diverse characteristics. The best option to counteract the harmful effects of a pandemic may be having strong health systems in place,with contingent capacity to deal with unforeseen events and available resources capable of a rapid expansion of its capacity.
这项工作通过非参数方法解决冠状病毒的传播问题,目的是根据疾病演变的相似程度确定国家社区。分析的重点是在确认第10例病例后至少250天内,每万人每天新增COVID-19病例数。动态分析是通过构建最小生成树(MST)来进行的,并在每次移动一天的150天振幅的95个时间窗口中识别传染进化中的相似性组。在构建的时间窗口中,国家属于类似绩效组的次数是考虑的强度衡量标准。群体构成不稳定,表明COVID-19的演变需要作为复杂系统背景下的动态问题来处理。应用Louvain算法对三个群落进行了识别。根据每个国家的社会经济特征和与疾病相关的变量对已确定的社区进行分析,有助于确定是否有任何建议的行动方案。即使强有力的检测和追踪病例政策可能与更稳定的疾病动态有关,结果表明,社区与具有不同特征的国家相一致。抵消大流行有害影响的最佳选择可能是拥有强大的卫生系统,具备应对不可预见事件的应急能力和能够迅速扩大其能力的现有资源。
