Theoryof Karma equilibria for interacting agents
This work builds upon very recent workon distributed interaction systems that we call Karma systems. We propose a mathematical formalism and numerical computation to predict user behavior in these systems.Your task is to 1. Extend the theory to the Markov chain case. 2. Evaluate the effect of having mixed populations of agents with different attributes. 3. Understandthe effect of time discounting on agent strategies and optimality of solutions. 4. Can we quantify social mobility in the social systemand connected it to population mixing?
Working Packages
- Study literature on mechanism design, game theory and control
- Gain an intuition for the factors that affect agents choices and outcomes in the system
- Propose and prove statements and bounds about the Karma social system
- Write and submit a report/paper
