Title
Approximate Pure Nash Equilibria In Social Context Congestion Games
Abstract
We study the existence of approximate pure Nash equilibria in social context congestion games. For any given set of allowed cost functions F, we provide a threshold value mu(F), and show that for the class of social context congestion games with cost functions from F, alpha-Nash dynamics are guaranteed to converge to alpha-approximate pure Nash equilibrium if and only if alpha > mu(F).Interestingly, mu(F) is related and always upper bounded by Roughgarden's anarchy value [19].
