Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Markovian network equilibrium generalizes the classical Wardrop equilibrium in network games. At a Markovian network equilibrium, each player of the game solves a Markov decision process instead of a shortest path problem. We propose two novel extensions of Markovian network equilibrium by considering (1) variable demand, which offers the players a quitting option, and (2) multi commodity flow, which allows players to have heterogeneous ending time. We further develop dynamic-programming-based iterative algorithms for the proposed equilibrium problems, together with their arithmetic complexity analysis. Finally, we illustrate our network equilibrium model via a multi-commodity ride-sharing example, and compare the computational efficiency of our algorithms against the state-of-the-art optimization software MOSEK over extensive numerical experiments.(C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
