text: "We consider a natural problem dealing with weighted packet selection across
a rechargeable link, which e.g., finds applications in cryptocurrency networks.
The capacity of a link (u, v) is determined by how many nodes u and v allocate
for this link. Specifically, the input is a finite ordered sequence of packets
that arrive in both directions along a link. Given (u, v) and a packet of weight
x going from u to v, node u can either accept or reject the packet. If u accepts
the packet, the capacity on link (u, v) decreases by x. Correspondingly, v's capacity
on \r\n increases by x. If a node rejects the packet, this will entail a cost
affinely linear in the weight of the packet. A link is “rechargeable” in the sense
that the total capacity of the link has to remain constant, but the allocation
of capacity at the ends of the link can depend arbitrarily on the nodes' decisions.
The goal is to minimise the sum of the capacity injected into the link and the
cost of rejecting packets. We show that the problem is NP-hard, but can be approximated
efficiently with a ratio of (1+E) . (1+3) for some arbitrary E>0."

text: Graphical games are a useful framework for modeling the interactions of (selfish)
agents who are connected via an underlying topology and whose behaviors influence
each other. They have wide applications ranging from computer science to economics
and biology. Yet, even though an agent’s payoff only depends on the actions of
their direct neighbors in graphical games, computing the Nash equilibria and making
statements about the convergence time of "natural" local dynamics in particular
can be highly challenging. In this work, we present a novel approach for classifying
complexity of Nash equilibria in graphical games by establishing a connection
to local graph algorithms, a subfield of distributed computing. In particular,
we make the observation that the equilibria of graphical games are equivalent
to locally verifiable labelings (LVL) in graphs; vertex labelings which are verifiable
with constant-round local algorithms. This connection allows us to derive novel
lower bounds on the convergence time to equilibrium of best-response dynamics
in graphical games. Since we establish that distributed convergence can sometimes
be provably slow, we also introduce and give bounds on an intuitive notion of
"time-constrained" inefficiency of best responses. We exemplify how our results
can be used in the implementation of mechanisms that ensure convergence of best
responses to a Nash equilibrium. Our results thus also give insight into the convergence
of strategy-proof algorithms for graphical games, which is still not well understood.

text: 'Direct reciprocity is a powerful mechanism for cooperation in social
dilemmas. The very logic of reciprocity, however, seems to require that individuals
are symmetric, and that everyone has the same means to influence each others’
payoffs. Yet in many applications, individuals are asymmetric. Herein, we study
the effect of asymmetry in linear public good games. Individuals may differ in
their endowments (their ability to contribute to a public good) and in their productivities
(how effective their contributions are). Given the individuals’ productivities,
we ask which allocation of endowments is optimal for cooperation. To this end,
we consider two notions of optimality. The first notion focuses on the resilience
of cooperation. The respective endowment distribution ensures that full cooperation
is feasible even under the most adverse conditions. The second notion focuses
on efficiency. The corresponding endowment distribution maximizes group welfare.
Using analytical methods, we fully characterize these two endowment distributions.
This analysis reveals that both optimality notions favor some endowment inequality:
More productive players ought to get higher endowments. Yet the two notions disagree
on how unequal endowments are supposed to be. A focus on resilience results in
less inequality. With additional simulations, we show that the optimal endowment
allocation needs to account for both the resilience and the efficiency of cooperation.'

text: Turn-based stochastic games (aka simple stochastic games) are two-player zero-sum
games played on directed graphs with probabilistic transitions. The goal of player-max
is to maximize the probability to reach a target state against the adversarial
player-min. These games lie in NP ∩ coNP and are among the rare combinatorial
problems that belong to this complexity class for which the existence of polynomial-time
algorithm is a major open question. While randomized sub-exponential time algorithm
exists, all known deterministic algorithms require exponential time in the worst-case.
An important open question has been whether faster algorithms can be obtained
parametrized by the treewidth of the game graph. Even deterministic sub-exponential
time algorithm for constant treewidth turn-based stochastic games has remain elusive.
In this work our main result is a deterministic algorithm to solve turn-based
stochastic games that, given a game with n states, treewidth at most t, and the
bit-complexity of the probabilistic transition function log D, has running time
O ((tn2 log D)t log n). In particular, our algorithm is quasi-polynomial time
for games with constant or poly-logarithmic treewidth.

text: Reinforcement learning has received much attention for learning controllers
of deterministic systems. We consider a learner-verifier framework for stochastic
control systems and survey recent methods that formally guarantee a conjunction
of reachability and safety properties. Given a property and a lower bound on the
probability of the property being satisfied, our framework jointly learns a control
policy and a formal certificate to ensure the satisfaction of the property with
a desired probability threshold. Both the control policy and the formal certificate
are continuous functions from states to reals, which are learned as parameterized
neural networks. While in the deterministic case, the certificates are invariant
and barrier functions for safety, or Lyapunov and ranking functions for liveness,
in the stochastic case the certificates are supermartingales. For certificate
verification, we use interval arithmetic abstract interpretation to bound the
expected values of neural network functions.

text: "Populations evolve in spatially heterogeneous environments. While a certain
trait might bring a fitness advantage in some patch of the environment, a different
trait might be advantageous in another patch. Here, we study the Moran birth–death
process with two types of individuals in a population stretched across two patches
of size N, each patch favouring one of the two types. We show that the long-term
fate of such populations crucially depends on the migration rate μ\r\n between
the patches. To classify the possible fates, we use the distinction between polynomial
(short) and exponential (long) timescales. We show that when μ is high then one
of the two types fixates on the whole population after a number of steps that
is only polynomial in N. By contrast, when μ is low then each type holds majority
in the patch where it is favoured for a number of steps that is at least exponential
in N. Moreover, we precisely identify the threshold migration rate μ⋆ that separates
those two scenarios, thereby exactly delineating the situations that support long-term
coexistence of the two types. We also discuss the case of various cycle graphs
and we present computer simulations that perfectly match our analytical results."

text: The field of indirect reciprocity investigates how social norms can foster
cooperation when individuals continuously monitor and assess each other’s social
interactions. By adhering to certain social norms, cooperating individuals can
improve their reputation and, in turn, receive benefits from others. Eight social
norms, known as the “leading eight," have been shown to effectively promote the
evolution of cooperation as long as information is public and reliable. These
norms categorize group members as either ’good’ or ’bad’. In this study, we examine
a scenario where individuals instead assign nuanced reputation scores to each
other, and only cooperate with those whose reputation exceeds a certain threshold.
We find both analytically and through simulations that such quantitative assessments
are error-correcting, thus facilitating cooperation in situations where information
is private and unreliable. Moreover, our results identify four specific norms
that are robust to such conditions, and may be relevant for helping to sustain
cooperation in natural populations.

text: We study the problem of training and certifying adversarially robust quantized
neural networks (QNNs). Quantization is a technique for making neural networks
more efficient by running them using low-bit integer arithmetic and is therefore
commonly adopted in industry. Recent work has shown that floating-point neural
networks that have been verified to be robust can become vulnerable to adversarial
attacks after quantization, and certification of the quantized representation
is necessary to guarantee robustness. In this work, we present quantization-aware
interval bound propagation (QA-IBP), a novel method for training robust QNNs.
Inspired by advances in robust learning of non-quantized networks, our training
algorithm computes the gradient of an abstract representation of the actual network.
Unlike existing approaches, our method can handle the discrete semantics of QNNs.
Based on QA-IBP, we also develop a complete verification procedure for verifying
the adversarial robustness of QNNs, which is guaranteed to terminate and produce
a correct answer. Compared to existing approaches, the key advantage of our verification
procedure is that it runs entirely on GPU or other accelerator devices. We demonstrate
experimentally that our approach significantly outperforms existing methods and
establish the new state-of-the-art for training and certifying the robustness
of QNNs.

text: 'Two-player zero-sum "graph games" are central in logic, verification, and
multi-agent systems. The game proceeds by placing a token on a vertex of a graph,
and allowing the players to move it to produce an infinite path, which determines
the winner or payoff of the game. Traditionally, the players alternate turns in
moving the token. In "bidding games", however, the players have budgets and in
each turn, an auction (bidding) determines which player moves the token. So far,
bidding games have only been studied as full-information games. In this work we
initiate the study of partial-information bidding games: we study bidding games
in which a player''s initial budget is drawn from a known probability distribution.
We show that while for some bidding mechanisms and objectives, it is straightforward
to adapt the results from the full-information setting to the partial-information
setting, for others, the analysis is significantly more challenging, requires
new techniques, and gives rise to interesting results. Specifically, we study
games with "mean-payoff" objectives in combination with "poorman" bidding. We
construct optimal strategies for a partially-informed player who plays against
a fully-informed adversary. We show that, somewhat surprisingly, the "value" under
pure strategies does not necessarily exist in such games.'
