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...

More Algorithms for All-Pairs Shortest Paths in Weighted Graphs
In the first part of the paper, we reexamine the all-pairs shortest paths (APSP) problem and present a new algorithm with running time O(n3 log3 log n/ log2 n), which improves all...

Hardness Amplification Proofs Require Majority
Hardness amplification is the fundamental task of converting a -hard function f : {0, 1}n {0, 1} into a (1/2 - )-hard function Amp(f), where f is -hard if small circuits fail to c...

Tightening Nonsimple Paths and Cycles on Surfaces
We describe algorithms to compute the shortest path homotopic to a given path, or the shortest cycle freely homotopic to a given cycle, on an orientable combinatorial surface. Unli...

On the Complexity of Nash Equilibria and Other Fixed Points
We reexamine what it means to compute Nash equilibria and, more generally, what it means to compute a fixed point of a given Brouwer function, and we investigate the complexity o...
