Pure Nash equilibria: complete characterization of hard and easy graphical games
We consider the computational complexity of pure Nash equilibria in graphical games. It is known that the problem is NP-complete in general, but tractable (i.e., in P) for special...

Minimum Entropy Coloring
Abstract We study an information-theoretic variant of the graph coloring problem in which the objective function to minimize is the entropy of the coloring. The minimum entropy of ...

A 2.5-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-MST Problem
The k-MST problem requires finding that subset of at least k vertices of a given graph whose Minimum Spanning Tree has least weight amongst all subsets of at least k vertices. Th...

Formal Language Constrained Path Problems
Given an alphabet , a (directed) graph G whose edges are weighted and -labeled, and a formal language L , the formal-language-constrained shortest/simple path problem consists of ...

On the Power of Randomization in Algorithmic Mechanism Design
In many settings the power of truthful mechanisms is severely bounded. In this paper we use randomization to overcome this problem. In particular, we construct an FPTAS for multi-...
