Characterizing conflicts in fair division of indivisible goods using a scale of criteria

S Bouveret, M Lemaître - Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2016 - Springer
We investigate five different fairness criteria in a simple model of fair resource allocation of
indivisible goods based on additive preferences. We show how these criteria are connected …

Course match: A large-scale implementation of approximate competitive equilibrium from equal incomes for combinatorial allocation

E Budish, GP Cachon, JB Kessler… - Operations …, 2017 - pubsonline.informs.org
Combinatorial allocation involves assigning bundles of items to agents when the use of
money is not allowed. Course allocation is one common application of combinatorial …

Inapproximability of Nash equilibrium

A Rubinstein - Proceedings of the forty-seventh annual ACM …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
We prove that finding an ε-approximate Nash equilibrium is PPAD-complete for constant ε
and a particularly simple class of games: polymatrix, degree 3 graphical games, in which …

Approximating the Nash social welfare with indivisible items

R Cole, V Gkatzelis - Proceedings of the forty-seventh annual ACM …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
We study the problem of allocating a set of indivisible items among agents with additive
valuations, with the goal of maximizing the geometric mean of the agents' valuations, ie, the …

On the cryptographic hardness of finding a Nash equilibrium

N Bitansky, O Paneth, A Rosen - 2015 IEEE 56th Annual …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We prove that finding a Nash equilibrium of a game is hard, assuming the existence of
indistinguishability obfuscation and one-way functions with sub-exponential hardness. We …

The complexity of pacing for second-price auctions

X Chen, C Kroer, R Kumar - Mathematics of Operations …, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
Budget constraints are ubiquitous in online advertisement auctions. To manage these
constraints and smooth out the expenditure across auctions, the bidders (or the platform on …

Complexity of equilibria in first-price auctions under general tie-breaking rules

X Chen, B Peng - Proceedings of the 55th Annual ACM Symposium on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We study the complexity of finding an approximate (pure) Bayesian Nash equilibrium in a
first-price auction with common priors when the tie-breaking rule is part of the input. We …

Competitive equilibrium with indivisible goods and generic budgets

M Babaioff, N Nisan… - … of Operations Research, 2021 - pubsonline.informs.org
Competitive equilibrium from equal incomes (CEEI) is a classic solution to the problem of fair
and efficient allocation of goods (Foley 1967, Varian 1974). Every agent receives an equal …

Approximating the Nash social welfare with indivisible items

R Cole, V Gkatzelis - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2018 - SIAM
We study the problem of allocating a set of indivisible items among agents with additive
valuations, with the goal of maximizing the geometric mean of the agents' valuations, ie, the …

Public goods games in directed networks

C Papadimitriou, B Peng - Proceedings of the 22nd ACM Conference on …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
Public goods games in undirected networks are generally known to have pure Nash
equilibria, which are easy to find. In contrast, we prove that, in directed networks, a broad …
