Temporal Congestion Games

Abstract
We consider a special class of Congestion Games enhanced with a notion of time.Network Routing problems, such as road traffic networks, computer neworks, and evacuation problems are some applications of this class of games. Two subclasses of these games, namely atomic and non-atomic is considered in this article, both of them introduced in 2009. Some of the existing results are Nash equilibria existence proof for “single-source single-sink” case, and a mechanism for improving price of anarchy in the non-atomic subclass. There are also some results in the atomic subclass of this game.We extend both models of atomic and non-atomic subclasses to “multi-source,multi-sink” configurations. We call...

Abstract
Energy hubs, an important component of future energy networks employing distributed demand-side management, can play a key role in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of power grids. In power grids, energy hub operators need to optimally schedule the consumption, conversion, and storage of available resources based on their own utility functions. In sufficiently large networks, scheduling an individual hub can affect the utility of the other energy hubs. In this paper, the interaction between energy hubs is modeled as a congestion game. Each energy hub operator (player) participates in a dynamic energy pricing market and tries to maximize his/her own payoff when satisfying energy...
