Emergence of heterogeneity in a noncompetitive resource allocation problem

Matzke, Christina ; Challet, Damien

In: Physical Review E statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 2011, vol. 84, no. 1, p. 016107

Tuning one’s shower in some hotels may turn into a challenging coordination game with imperfect information. The temperature sensitivity increases with the number of agents, making the problem possibly unlearnable. Because there is in practice a finite number of possible tap positions, identical agents are unlikely to reach even approximately their favorite water temperature. We show that a...
