Reinforcement Learning for SBM Graphon Games with Re-Sampling

no code implementations25 Oct 2023 Peihan Huo, Oscar Peralta, Junyu Guo, Qiaomin Xie, Andreea Minca

In more realistic scenarios where the block model is unknown, we propose a re-sampling scheme from a graphon integrated with the finite N-player MP-MFG model.

Decentralized Governance of Stablecoins with Closed Form Valuation

no code implementations18 Sep 2021 Lucy Huo, Ariah Klages-Mundt, Andreea Minca, Frederik Christian Münter, Mads Rude Wind

We model incentive security in non-custodial stablecoins and derive conditions for participation in a stablecoin system across risk absorbers (vaults/CDPs) and holders of governance tokens.

Provable Fictitious Play for General Mean-Field Games

no code implementations8 Oct 2020 Qiaomin Xie, Zhuoran Yang, Zhaoran Wang, Andreea Minca

We propose a reinforcement learning algorithm for stationary mean-field games, where the goal is to learn a pair of mean-field state and stationary policy that constitutes the Nash equilibrium.

While Stability Lasts: A Stochastic Model of Non-Custodial Stablecoins

no code implementations2 Apr 2020 Ariah Klages-Mundt, Andreea Minca

The `Black Thursday' crisis in cryptocurrency markets demonstrated deleveraging risks in over-collateralized non-custodial stablecoins.

Clustering Degree-Corrected Stochastic Block Model with Outliers

no code implementations7 Jun 2019 Xin Qian, Yudong Chen, Andreea Minca

For the degree corrected stochastic block model in the presence of arbitrary or even adversarial outliers, we develop a convex-optimization-based clustering algorithm that includes a penalization term depending on the positive deviation of a node from the expected number of edges to other inliers.

(In)Stability for the Blockchain: Deleveraging Spirals and Stablecoin Attacks

2 code implementations5 Jun 2019 Ariah Klages-Mundt, Andreea Minca

The possibility of such `deleveraging spirals' was first predicted in the initial release of our paper in 2019 and later directly observed during the `Black Thursday' crisis in Dai in 2020.

Cascading Losses in Reinsurance Networks

1 code implementation30 May 2018 Ariah Klages-Mundt, Andreea Minca

We characterize the fixed points of our model and develop efficient algorithms to compute contagion with guarantees on convergence and speed under conditions on network structure.
