Sensitivity of Wardrop Equilibria: Revisited

Abstract

For single-commodity networks, the increase of the price of anarchy is bounded by a factor of $(1+\epsilon)^p$ from above, when the travel demand is increased by a factor of $1+\epsilon$ and the latency functions are polynomials of degree at most $p$. We show that the same upper bound holds for multi-commodity networks and provide a lower bound as well.
