NashOpt: A Python Library for Generalized Nash Equilibria

Published:Dec 29, 2025 17:49
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper introduces NashOpt, a Python library designed to compute and analyze generalized Nash equilibria (GNEs) in noncooperative games. The library's focus on shared constraints and real-valued decision variables, along with its ability to handle both general nonlinear and linear-quadratic games, makes it a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners in game theory and related fields. The use of JAX for automatic differentiation and the reformulation of linear-quadratic GNEs as mixed-integer linear programs highlight the library's efficiency and versatility. The inclusion of inverse-game and Stackelberg game-design problem support further expands its applicability. The availability of the library on GitHub promotes open-source collaboration and accessibility.

Public Goods in Directed Networks: A Kernel Approach

Published:Dec 29, 2025 04:09
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper explores how public goods can be provided in decentralized networks. It uses graph theory kernels to analyze specialized equilibria where individuals either contribute a fixed amount or free-ride. The research provides conditions for equilibrium existence and uniqueness, analyzes the impact of network structure (reciprocity), and proposes an algorithm for simplification. The focus on specialized equilibria is justified by their stability.
Reference

“The paper establishes a correspondence between kernels in graph theory and specialized equilibria.”

Nash Equilibria for Product Design with Bayesian Mixed Logit Models

Published:Dec 28, 2025 10:36
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper investigates the use of Bayesian mixed logit models to simulate competitive dynamics in product design, focusing on the ability of these models to accurately predict Nash equilibria. It addresses a gap in the literature by incorporating fully Bayesian choice models and assessing their performance under different choice behaviors. The research is significant because it provides insights into the reliability of these models for strategic decision-making in product development and pricing.
Reference

“The capability of state-of-the-art mixed logit models to reveal the true Nash equilibria seems to be primarily contingent upon the type of choice behavior (probabilistic versus deterministic).”

Decoding Biological Architecture

Published:Dec 27, 2025 17:03
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper explores how evolutionary forces, thermodynamic constraints, and computational features shape the architecture of living systems. It argues that complex biological circuits are active agents of change, enhancing evolvability through hierarchical and modular organization. The study uses statistical physics, dynamical systems theory, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics to analyze biological innovations and emergent evolutionary dynamics.
Reference

“Biological innovations are related to deviation from trivial structures and (thermo)dynamic equilibria.”

Computing Pure-Strategy Nash Equilibria in a Two-Party Policy Competition: Existence and Algorithmic Approaches

Published:Dec 27, 2025 10:44
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper investigates the computation of pure-strategy Nash equilibria in a two-party policy competition. It explores the existence of such equilibria and proposes algorithmic approaches to find them. The research is valuable for understanding strategic interactions in political science and policy making, particularly in scenarios where parties compete on policy platforms. The paper's strength lies in its formal analysis and the development of algorithms. However, the practical applicability of the algorithms and the sensitivity of the results to the model's assumptions could be areas for further investigation.
