Adversarial scheduling analysis of game-theoretic models of norm diffusion

Abstract

In [IMR01] we advocated the investigation of robustness of results in the theory of learning in games under adversarial scheduling models. We provide evidence that such an analysis is feasible and can lead to nontrivial results by investigating, in an adversarial scheduling setting, Peyton Young's model of diffusion of norms [You98]. In particular, our main result incorporates contagion into Peyton Young's model. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
