We study a problem of communication between an influencer and a receiver where the influencer has access to a sequence of facts that the receiver is interested in knowing with zero error. The influencer sends a signal to the receiver for every such sequence and it obtains a utility that is a function of the true sequence and the sequence deduced by the receiver, and incurs a cost that is a function of the true sequence and the signal sent. The influencer may choose to induce ambiguity by sending a common signal for multiple sequences, and by performing coding. The resulting problem is studied as a Stackelberg game and operational strategies are obtained as the equilibrium of this game. Our main contribution is the study of informativeness – the minimum amount of correct information that the receiver can obtain in any such equilibrium. We characterize informativeness as the limiting value of the list chromatic number of a sequence of graphs and obtain single-letter bounds on it. Our results show that the presence of cost increases informativeness and when a certain single-letter condition holds, there is no benefit to coding in the costless case.

Ananthram and Borkar [1] showed that there exist strategies that are consistent with the requirements of a decentralized information structure but are unattainable through the use of common randomness. This opens the question of discovering physically realisable mechanisms that provide access to this region of the strategic space. In our previous work we introduced a class of quantum strategies that allow such access in a two-agent setting. In this paper, we consider the problem of optimal allocation of a $k$ -partite quantum resource amongst $n$ agents, $k < n$ . We study the problem of decentralized estimation of a binary source by agents that are informed through independent binary symmetric channels, and face a cost that is homogeneous in their actions. We show a $k$ -partite quantum resource produces the maximum advantage over classical strategies when allocated to the agents with the $k$ most reliable channels.
