Each player chooses one of two strategies with probabilities $x$ and $1-x$, where the subjective players bias their choices of the probabilities to be $w(x)$ and $w(1-x)$ to reflect the probability weighting effect of PT. We find that players' behavior is affected by the total number of players and the number of each type of player (objective or subjective). We show that increasing the number of participating firms encourages the information sharing strategy and the behavior becomes similar for both types of players. Subjective players' are affected more by increasing the number of participating firms (the number of players). As a result, subjective players are more likely to cooperate by sharing information and paying the costs of this sharing than objective players. We derive the conditions to achieve a locally asymptotically stable Nash equilibrium (NE) and the necessary conditions to achieve an evolutionary stable strategy (ESS).","PeriodicalId":228112,"journal":{"name":"2021 55th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"236 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123039248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis combines several technical tools, including singular perturbation theory, composite Lyapunov functions, and novel results on diagonal stability of matrices with a rank-1 structure.

To deal with massive data, efficient learning algorithms are required in statistical learning. In deep learning, natural gradient algorithms, such as AdaGrad and Adam, are widely used, motivated by the idea of Newton's approach that applies second-order derivatives to rescale gradients. By approximating the second-order geometry of the empirical loss with the empirical Fisher information matrix (FIM), natural gradient methods are expected to obtain extra efficiency of learning. However, the exact curvature of the empirical loss is described by the Hessian matrix, not the FIM, and biases between the empirical FIM and the Hessian always exist before convergence, which will affect the expected efficiency. In this paper, we present a new stochastic optimization algorithm, diagSG (diagonal Hessian stochastic gradient), in the setting of deep learning. As a second-order algorithm, diagSG estimates the diagonal entries of the Hessian matrix at each iteration through simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) and applies the diagonal entries for the adaptive learning rate in optimization. By comparing the rescaling matrices in diagSG and in natural gradient methods, we argue that diagSG possess advantages in characterizing loss curvature with better approximation of Hessian diagonals. In practical part, we provide a experiment to endorse our argument.","PeriodicalId":228112,"journal":{"name":"2021 55th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"12 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126867017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two notable use-cases are modular multilevel converters and solid-state medium-voltage transformers. In such systems, control is traditionally tackled via a centralized controller that communicates with each converter in the stack. Given the large number of converters in such a system, these approaches entail significant complexity and communication limits resilience to failures. In this paper, we introduce distributed controllers that can be executed on each converter and can be used to address challenges for both distortion mitigation and power-sharing among the converter stack. The first controller we consider operates at the switching timescale and utilizes a sample-and-hold operation and a basic proportional controller that yields automatic distortion minimization. Analysis demonstrates robustness from to limited sensor bandwidth and other practical issues. The second controller considered here is designed for decentralized synchronization and power sharing among the cascaded converters. This architecture allows for each unit in the stack to process non-uniform power if necessary and deliver power into a medium-voltage grid a near-unity power factor. After covering relevant models for both controllers, we conclude with experimental results.","PeriodicalId":228112,"journal":{"name":"2021 55th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126837891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Large-Scale VCG Mechanism maximizes the network utility and achieves individual rationality and budget balance. We show that, as the number of agents approaches infinity, each agent's incentive to misreport converges quadratically to zero. For practical implementation, we introduce a modified mechanism that possesses an additional important technical property, superimposability, which makes it able to be built upon any (potentially distributed) algorithm that optimally solves the NUM Problem and ensures agents to obey the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":228112,"journal":{"name":"2021 55th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121500302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
