Optimal Multiattribute Screening
Weber, Thomas A. - 2016
We provide a technique for constructing optimal multiattribute screening contracts in a general setting with one-dimensional types based on necessary optimality conditions. Our approach allows for type-dependent participation constraints and arbitrary risk profiles. As an example we discuss...

Optimal information disclosure : a linear programming approach
Kolotilin, Anton - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 13 (2018) 2, pp. 607-635
An uninformed sender designs a mechanism that discloses information about her type to a privately informed receiver, who then decides whether to act. I impose a single-crossing assumption, so that the receiver with a higher type is more willing to act. Using a linear programming approach, I...

The Dynamic Pivot Mechanism
Bergemann, Dirk; Valimaki, Juuso - 2009
We consider truthful implementation of the socially efficient allocation in an independent private-value environment in which agents receive private information over time. We propose a suitable generalization of the pivot mechanism, based on the marginal contribution of each agent. In the...

Feedback Nash Equilibria for Descriptor Differential Games Using Matrix Projectors
Reddy, Puduru Viswanadha - 2011
In this article we address the problem of finding feedback Nash equilibria for linear quadratic differential games defined on descriptor systems. First, we decouple the dynamic and algebraic parts of a descriptor system using canonical projectors. We discuss the effects of feedback on the...

Open-Loop Nash Equilibria in the Non-Cooperative Infinite-Planning Horizon LQ Game
Engwerda, Jacob C. - 2012
In this note we reconsider Nash equilibria for the linear quadratic differential game for an infinite planning horizon. We consider an open-loop information structure. In the standard literature this problem is solved under the assumption that every player can stabilize the system on his own. In...

The Optimal Linear Quadratic Feedback State Regulator Problem for Index One Descriptor Systems
Engwerda, Jacob C. - 2008
In this note we present both necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a linear static state feedback controller if the system is described by an index one descriptor system. A priori no definiteness restrictions are made w.r.t. the quadratic performance criterium. It is shown...

A Result on Output Feedback Linear Quadratic Control
Engwerda, Jacob C. - 2006
In this note we consider the static output feedback linear quadratic control problem. We present both necessary and sufficient conditions under which this problem has a solution in case the involved cost depend only on the output and control variables. This result is used to present both...
