34 Latent benefit flow: Motivation Fast network: x + i = θx i + (1 θ)avg j: xj x i ρ[x j (t)] Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 18/39

35 Latent benefit flow: Motivation Fast network: x + i = θx i + (1 θ)avg j: xj x i ρ[x j (t)] Fast nodes: Best response dynamics: corresponds to α i (t) BR i (α i (t 1)) α + = G(α, x eq (α)) i.e., immediate realization of benefits/costs (missing x). Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 18/39

36 Latent benefit flow: Motivation Fast network: x + i = θx i + (1 θ)avg j: xj x i ρ[x j (t)] Fast nodes: Best response dynamics: corresponds to α i (t) BR i (α i (t 1)) α + = G(α, x eq (α)) i.e., immediate realization of benefits/costs (missing x). Latent benefits: Benefits slow to react to changes in network topology Agent decisions based on myopic considerations Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 18/39

37 Latent benefit flow: Dynamics Shorthand: Model: d ij = dist G(α) (j i) b ij (t) = f (b ij (t 1), α i, α i ) { α dij b ij (t 1) + (1 α dij )δ d ij, δ d ij b ij (t 1), = β dij b ij (t 1) + (1 β dij )δ d ij, δ d ij < b ij (t 1) 0 α 1 α 2... < 1 1 > β 1 β Features: Benefit increases lag behind network connectivity Longer distances mean slower response Benefit decreases lag behind network connectivity Longer distances mean faster response Steady state benefits = Static benefits Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 19/39

38 Latent benefit flow: Myopic decisions Myopic best response dynamics: α i (t) = arg max f (b ij (t 1), α i, α i (t 1)) κ 0 α i (t) α i j = arg max α i u i (α i, α i (t 1); b i (t 1)) Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 20/39

39 Latent benefit flow: Myopic decisions Myopic best response dynamics: α i (t) = arg max f (b ij (t 1), α i, α i (t 1)) κ 0 α i (t) α i j = arg max α i u i (α i, α i (t 1); b i (t 1)) Interpretation: State dependent utility cf: Marden (2012), State Based Potential Games, Automatica Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 20/39

40 Latent benefit flow: Myopic decisions Myopic best response dynamics: α i (t) = arg max f (b ij (t 1), α i, α i (t 1)) κ 0 α i (t) α i j = arg max α i u i (α i, α i (t 1); b i (t 1)) Interpretation: State dependent utility cf: Marden (2012), State Based Potential Games, Automatica In case of time-scale separation, reduces to standard best response Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 20/39

41 Main results Strict equilibrium: (α i, α i ; B ) u i (α i, α i; b i ) > u i (α i, α i; b i ) Proposition: (α, B ) is strict if for all i and α i α i, (1 α d ij )(δ d ij δ d j S ij )+ (1 β d ij )(δ d ij δ d ij )+κ0 ( α i α i ) > 0. j S + Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 21/39

42 Main results Strict equilibrium: (α i, α i ; B ) u i (α i, α i; b i ) > u i (α i, α i; b i ) Proposition: (α, B ) is strict if for all i and α i α i, (1 α d ij )(δ d ij δ d j S ij )+ (1 β d ij )(δ d ij δ d ij )+κ0 ( α i α i ) > 0. j S + Proposition: Strict equilibria are local attractors. Proposition: There exist equilibria of myopic best response dynamics that are not equilibria of the static game for (1 β )δ > κ 0 > (1 α 1 )(δ δ 2 ) i.e., immediate cost outweighs long term benefit.

48 Selective instability Reinforcement learning: x i = action propensities x i (t + 1) = x i (t) + δ(t)(a i (t) x i (t)), δ(t) = u i(a(t)) t + 1 p i (t) = (1 ε)x i (t) + ε N 1 δ std (t) = u i (a(t)) 1 T U i (t) + u i (a(t)) Interpretation: Increased probability of utilized action. Dynamic reinforcement learning: Introduce running average y i (t + 1) = y i (t) + 1 t + 1 (x i(t) y i (t)) p i (t) = (1 ε)π x i (t) + γ(x i (t) y i (t)) + ε }{{} N 1 new term Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 26/39

49 Marginal foresight & instability Proposition: The pure NE a has positive probability of convergence iff 0 < γ i < u i(a i, a i) u i (a i, a i ) + 1 u i (a i, a i ), a i a i (as opposed to all pure NE) Proof: ODE method of stochastic approximation.

Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 28/39

53 Outline Network formation games Latent benefits Dynamic reinforcement Establishment costs Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 29/39

54 Establishment costs: Setup As before: Benefit: Maintenance cost: j i δ dist G (j i) κ 0 α i Familiarity vector: x i (A i ) Induced neighbor familiarity, ψ(x i ) Unspecified: How x i evolves... Establishment cost of action α i : κ 1 ψ(α i ) T( ) 1 ψ(x i ) κ 1 penalizes links to unfamiliar neighbors κ 1 encourages mixing G.C. Chasparis and JSS (2013), Network formation: Neighborhood structures, establishment costs, and distributed learning?. Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 30/39

55 Establishment cost example Neighbor set: Action set: Action: Subset familiarity: Induced neighbor familiarity: {1, 2, 3} A = {1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 23, 123} α i = 12 ( 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0 ) x i = ( 1/2, 0,..., 0, 1/2 ) ψ(α i ) = ( 1, 1, 0 ) ψ(x i ) = ( 1, 1/2, 1/2 ) Establishment cost: κ 1ψ(α i ) T ( ) 1 1 (1 ψ(x i )) = κ /2 1 1/2 ( ) 0 = κ /2 1/2 Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 31/39

56 Framework: State-Dependent Games Connections with establishment cost model (C): v i (α, x i ) = δ distg(α)(s,i) ( κ 0 α i + κ 1 ψ(α i ) T (1 ψ(x i )) ) (s i) G(α) Indexed collection of utility functions If κ 1 = 0, then same as before Evolution of x i left unspecified Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 32/39

57 Nash Networks, revisited Better reply: α i BR i (α) iff v i ((α i, α i ), α i ) > v i ((α i, α i ), α i ) Presumes familiarity with current action, α i Nash network: BR i (α ) = for all i I v i ((α i, α i), α i ) v i ((α i, α i), α i ) for all alternatives α i α i Strict Nash network: v i ((α i, α i), α i ) > v i ((α i, α i), α i ) for all alternatives α i α i Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 33/39

58 Coordination Property Improvement step: IS i (α) BR i (α): v i ((α i, α i ), α i ) > v i ((α i, α i ), α i ) and v i ((α i, α i ), α i) > v i ((α i, α i ), α i ) A better reply that continues to be a better reply with regained familiarity Coordination property: There exists φ : A R such that if α is not a NE, there exists an i I, such that for some α i IS i (α) φ(α i, α i ) > φ(α i, α i ) Implication: Existence of Nash Networks Compare: Resembles weakly-acyclic game Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 34/39

59 Structure of Nash Networks Proposition: For κ 1 0, C is a coordination game for δ = 1 and κ 0 + κ 1 < 1 Proof: φ(α) = i I v i(α, α i ) Consequences: C admits Nash networks If α is a Nash network in C, then G(α ) is connected Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 35/39

60 Effect of establishment cost Proposition: Compare κ 1 = 0 vs small κ 1 > 0: non-nash network = non-nash network Nash network = strict Nash network Proposition: Compare κ 1 = 0 vs small κ 1 < 0: non-nash network = non-nash network non-strict Nash network = non-nash network strict Nash network = strict Nash network Implication: κ 1 < 0 can eliminate inefficient Nash networks Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 36/39

61 Learning Dynamics: Adaptive Play Familiarity: (degree of freedom) Update rule: α i (t) = x i (t + 1) = 1 M M 1 τ=0 α i (t τ) { α i (t 1) if BR i (α(t 1); x i (t)) = ; α i otherwise where α i(t) { α i (t 1) with probability p; BR i (α(t 1); x i (t)), with probability 1 p Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 37/39

62 Learning Dynamics: Adaptive Play Familiarity: (degree of freedom) Update rule: α i (t) = x i (t + 1) = 1 M M 1 τ=0 α i (t τ) { α i (t 1) if BR i (α(t 1); x i (t)) = ; α i otherwise where α i(t) { α i (t 1) with probability p; BR i (α(t 1); x i (t)), with probability 1 p Proposition: Converges to Nash network for C. Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 37/39

63 In progress: Coevolutionary preferential attachment Standard: New arrival randomly links to node i k i Variation: Reputed degree lags actual degree c i (t + 1) = αc i (t) + (1 α)k i (t) Note: Clock updates upon new arrival to node i Simulations: Increased super hubs Coevolutionary PA Standard PA Model P(k) k Al-Shyoukh, Chasparis, and JSS (2014), Coevolutionary modeling in network formation Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 38/39

64 Concluding remarks Network formation games: Latent benefits vs steady state benefits Dynamic reinforcement vs quasi-static reinforcement Establishment costs vs maintenance costs Main message: Coevolution vs equilibrium analysis Jeff S. Shamma Coevolutionary Modeling in Networks 39/39
