  1. Pricing in Non-cooperative Dynamic Games Lillian Ratliff, Sam Coogan, Daniel Calderone 20 August 2012

  2. Competitive Collaboration • Incentive theory is used to study problems with socio-economic considerations where agents have private information. • In general, resources are scarce causing competition amongst self interested agents. • Mechanism design is the tool used to coordinate competitive agents. • In a dynamic environment, we aim to design prices to shape utilities of competitive agents for the purpose of coordination in engineering problems.

  3. Competitive Collaboration • Network Security • Efficient Energy Management in Buildings • Controlled Diffusion in Multi-Agent Networks

  4. Outline • Problem Formulation • Convex Program • Applications • Future Work

Varying Thermal Conductivity Between Zones Less insulation between zones results in higher savings. : player i’s cost with pricing : player i’s portion of the social cost : player i’s cost at Nash Equilibrium given their nominal utility. Inefficiency of Nash Comparing Nash to Pricing Cost Redistribution of Social Cost

  11. Varying Agent Preferences 1 2 3 • Vary Q:R ratios – the team and Nash costs vary depending on the ratio of the comfort cost matrices and the nominal energy cost matrices of the agents. 4 5 6 7 8 9

  12. Future Work • Applying mechanism design theory to real world scenarios such asSutardja Dai Hall. In this formulation, we consider a VAV type HVAC system and a switched linear model of the thermodynamics (in collaboration with Anil Aswani). • Relaxing assumptions of the problem such as: perfect state knowledge (both social planner and selfish agents, i.e. allow for observations of the form ), perfect knowledge of player utilities as well as the linear quadratic assumptions.
