Equilibrium allocation and pricing of variable resources among user-suppliers

摘要: Abstract We propose a novel model of resource sharing schemes that provide each user with fixed minimum and random extra amount bandwidth buffer. Allocations prices are adjusted to adapt availability demands. At equilibrium, if it exists, all users optimize their utility demand equals supply, i.e., the marginal increase in due higher return on variable resources is balanced by decrease variability. show how an equilibrium might be approached using simple price adjustment rule does not require any knowledge part network about utilities. further at every holds strictly positive amounts buffer, same ratio. characterize lie hyperplane can computed without having know illustrate example this characterization significantly speed up convergence towards equilibrium.
