Approximate Nash Equilibria under Stability Conditions
Finding approximate Nash equilibria in n × n bimatrix games is currently one of the main open problems in algorithmic game theory. Motivated in part by the lack of progress on wo...

Non-cooperative facility location and covering games
Abstract. We study a general class of non-cooperative games coming from combinatorial covering and facility location problems. A game for k players is based on an integer programmi...

Network formation under mutual consent and costly communication
We consider four different game-theoretic approaches to describe the formation of social networks under mutual consent and costly communication. First, we consider Jackson-Wolins...

Intrinsic robustness of the price of anarchy
The price of anarchy (POA) is a worst-case measure of the inefficiency of selfish behavior, defined as the ratio of the objective function value of a worst Nash equilibrium of a g...

On the Performance of Approximate Equilibria in Congestion Games
We study the performance of approximate Nash equilibria for congestion games with polynomial latency functions. We consider how much the price of anarchy worsens and how much the ...
