Nash and Wardrop equilibria in aggregative games with coupling constraints
We consider the framework of aggregative games, in which the cost function of
each agent depends on his own strategy and on the average population strategy.
As first contribution, we investigate the relations between the concepts of
Nash and Wardrop equilibrium. By exploiting a characterization of the two
equilibria as solutions of variational inequalities, we bound their distance
with a decreasing function of the population size. As second contribution, we
propose two decentralized algorithms that converge to such equilibria and are
capable of coping with constraints coupling the strategies of different agents.
Finally, we study the applications of charging of electric vehicles and of
route choice on a road network.Comment: IEEE Trans. on Automatic Control (Accepted without changes). The

Linear Generalized Nash Equilibrium Problems
In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden verallgemeinerte Nash Spiele (LGNEPs) unter Linearitätsannahmen eingeführt und untersucht. Durch Ausnutzung der speziellen Struktur lassen sich theoretische und algorithmische Resultate erzielen, die weit über die Ergebnisse für allgemeine LGNEPs hinausgehen
A Douglas-Rachford splitting for semi-decentralized equilibrium seeking in generalized aggregative games
We address the generalized aggregative equilibrium seeking problem for
noncooperative agents playing average aggregative games with affine coupling
constraints. First, we use operator theory to characterize the generalized
aggregative equilibria of the game as the zeros of a monotone set-valued
operator. Then, we massage the Douglas-Rachford splitting to solve the monotone
inclusion problem and derive a single layer, semi-decentralized algorithm whose
global convergence is guaranteed under mild assumptions. The potential of the
proposed Douglas-Rachford algorithm is shown on a simplified resource
allocation game, where we observe faster convergence with respect to
forward-backward algorithms.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1803.1044
