This thesis presents a significant contribution to decentralized
resource allocation problems with strategic agents. The study
focused on three classes of problems arising in communication
networks. (C1). Unicast service provisioning in wired networks.
(C2). Multi-rate multicast service provisioning in wired networks.
(C3). Power allocation and spectrum sharing in multi-user
multi-channel wireless communication systems. Problems in (C1) are
market problems; problems in (C2) are a combination of markets and
public goods; problems in (C3) are public goods. Dr. Kakhbod
developed game forms/mechanisms for unicast and multi-rate
multicast service provisioning that possess specific properties.
First, the allocations corresponding to all Nash equilibria (NE) of
the games induced by the mechanisms are optimal solutions of the
corresponding centralized allocation problems, where the objective
is the maximization of the sum of the agents' utilities. Second,
the strategic agents voluntarily participate in the allocation
process. Third, the budget is balanced at the allocations
corresponding to all NE of the game induced by the mechanism as
well as at all other feasible allocations. For the power allocation
and spectrum sharing problem, he developed a game form that
possesses the second and third properties as detailed above along
with a fourth property: the allocations corresponding to all NE of
the game induced by the mechanism are Pareto optimal. The thesis
contributes to the state of the art of mechanism design theory. In
particular, designing efficient mechanisms for the class of
problems that are a combination of markets and public goods, for
the first time, have been addressed in this thesis. The exposition,
although highly rigorous and technical, is elegant and insightful
which makes this thesis work easily accessible to those just
entering this field and will also be much appreciated by experts in
the field.
