Abstract

This paper treats a Bayesian routing problem from the epistemic point of view. We discuss on the role of communication among all users about the users’ individual conjectures on the others’ selections of channels in the network game. In this paper we focus on the expectations of social costs and its individual conjectures, and we show that, in a revision process of all users’ conjectures on the expectations of social costs by communication through the message on the conjecture among the all users, the process yields a Nash equilibrium for social cost in the based KP-model.

  3. 3.

    \(\text {Supp}(\sigma _i)\) is defined by \(\text {Supp}(\sigma _i) = \{ l \in L\ \vert \ \sigma _i(l) \ne 0\}\).

  4. 4.

    Proposition 1 in Matsuhisa [6].

  5. 5.

    I.e., \(\text {Supp}(\mu ) = \varOmega \).

  6. 6.

    Where \([l]_i\) is defined by \([l]_i = [ \mathbf l _i = l] = \{ \omega \in \varOmega \vert \mathbf l _i(\omega ) = l \}\).

  7. 7.

    Theorem 1 in Matsuhisa [6].

  8. 8.

    There exists a time m such that for all t, \(\Pr (t) = \Pr (t+m)\). The period of the protocol is the minimal number of all m such that for every t, \(\Pr (t+m) = \Pr (t)\).
