Optimality and Complexity of Pure Nash Equilibria in the Coverage Game
In this paper, we investigate the coverage problem in wireless sensor networks using a game theory method. We assume that nodes are randomly scattered in a sensor field and the goa...

Equilibria, Fixed Points, and Complexity Classes
Many models from a variety of areas involve the computation of an equilibrium or fixed point of some kind. Examples include Nash equilibria in games; market equilibria; computing o...

The Complexity of Equilibria in Cost Sharing Games
We study Congestion Games with non-increasing cost functions (Cost Sharing Games) from a complexity perspective and resolve their computational hardness, which has been an open que...

-Hardness of Pure Nash Equilibrium in Scheduling and Connection Games
We prove NP-hardness of pure Nash equilibrium for some problems of scheduling games and connection games. The technique is standard: first, we construct a gadget without the desir...

Computing pure nash equilibria in graphical games via markov random fields
We present a reduction from graphical games to Markov random fields so that pure Nash equilibria in the former can be found by statistical inference on the latter. Our result, wh...
