Abstract
A fundamental problem in the analysis and optimization of multi-user communication networks is that of modeling and optimizing performance tradeoffs. Tradeoffs occur when users share a limited resource or if they are coupled by mutual interference. In both cases, the users cannot act independently. If one user increases the performance by using more resources, then this generally comes at the cost of reducing the available performance margin of other users.
