提出折扣割模型,用博弈论分析网络破坏与重构的最优策略。

Discounted Cuts: A Stackelberg Approach to Network Disruption

  • 攻击者删至多k条边,防御者优化剩余流量路径,形成主从博弈。
  • 在有限类基因图上,所有折扣割问题均可多项式时间求解。
  • 适用于交通、基建等真实网络,为跨领域协作提供新框架。

我们研究经典关键链路问题的一个主从博弈变体,建模为攻击者与防御者的一轮对抗游戏。攻击者最多移除k条边以最大程度破坏源点s到汇点t之间的流,随后防御者最优地重新路由剩余流量。为刻画这一攻防互动,我们引入折扣割的新数学模型:割的代价通过排除其最贵的k条边来评估。该模型推广了经典关键链路问题,并揭示了新的算法与复杂性特性。我们构建了一个统一的算法框架,用于分析各类折扣割问题,包括在排除最贵或最便宜的k条边的折扣机制下最小化或最大化割的代价。尽管多数变体在一般图上为NP完全,但我们的核心结果表明:当输入受限于有界类基因图(如许多真实世界的交通与基础设施网络)时,所有折扣割问题均可多项式时间求解。本工作旨在促进人工智能、算法博弈论与运筹学间的协同创新。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We study a Stackelberg variant of the classical Most Vital Links problem, modeled as a one-round adversarial game between an attacker and a defender. The attacker strategically removes up to $k$ edges from a flow network to maximally disrupt flow between a source $s$ and a sink $t$, after which the defender optimally reroutes the remaining flow. To capture this attacker--defender interaction, we introduce a new mathematical model of discounted cuts, in which the cost of a cut is evaluated by excluding its $k$ most expensive edges. This model generalizes the Most Vital Links problem and uncovers novel algorithmic and complexity-theoretic properties. We develop a unified algorithmic framework for analyzing various forms of discounted cut problems, including minimizing or maximizing the cost of a cut under discount mechanisms that exclude either the $k$ most expensive or the $k$ cheapest edges. While most variants are NP-complete on general graphs, our main result establishes polynomial-time solvability for all discounted cut problems in our framework when the input is restricted to bounded-genus graphs, a relevant class that includes many real-world networks such as transportation and infrastructure networks. With this work, we aim to open collaborative bridges between artificial intelligence, algorithmic game theory, and operations research.
