Computing Equilibria in Two-Player Timed Games via Turn-Based Finite Games
We study two-player timed games where the objectives of the two players are not opposite. We focus on the standard notion of Nash equilibrium and propose a series of transformation...

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...

Designing Network Protocols for Good Equilibria
Designing and deploying a network protocol determines the rules by which end users interact with each other and with the network. We consider the problem of designing a protocol t...

On Learning Algorithms for Nash Equilibria
Can learning algorithms find a Nash equilibrium? This is a natural question for several reasons. Learning algorithms resemble the behavior of players in many naturally arising gam...

Coprivacy: Towards a Theory of Sustainable Privacy
We introduce the novel concept of coprivacy or co-operative privacy to make privacy preservation attractive. A protocol is coprivate if the best option for a player to preserve her...

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...

Smoothing Techniques for Computing Nash Equilibria of Sequential Games
We develop first-order smoothing techniques for saddle-point problems that arise in the Nash equilibria computation of sequential games. The crux of our work is a construction of ...

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...

New Maximal Numbers of Equilibria in Bimatrix Games
This paper presents a new lower bound of 2:414d= p d on the maximal number of Nash equilibria in d d bimatrix games, a central concept in game theory. The proof uses an equivalent ...
