Market Equilibrium under Separable, Piecewise-Linear, Concave Utilities
We consider Fisher and Arrow-Debreu markets under additively-separable, piecewise-linear, concave utility functions, and obtain the following results: ? For both market models, if...

Settling the Complexity of Arrow-Debreu Equilibria in Markets with Additively Separable Utilities
We prove that the problem of computing an Arrow-Debreu market equilibrium is PPAD-complete even when all traders use additively separable, piecewise-linear and concave utility fun...
