Pure-circuit: Strong inapproximability for PPAD

A Deligkas, J Fearnley, A Hollender… - 2022 IEEE 63rd …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The current state-of-the-art methods for showing inapproximability in PPAD arise from the ε-
Generalized-Circuit (ε-GCIRCUIT) problem. Rubinstein (2018) showed that there exists a …

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 …

Default ambiguity: Credit default swaps create new systemic risks in financial networks

S Schuldenzucker, S Seuken… - Management …, 2020 - pubsonline.informs.org
We study financial networks and reveal a new kind of systemic risk arising from what we call
default ambiguity—that is, a situation where it is impossible to decide which banks are in …

The complexity of splitting necklaces and bisecting ham sandwiches

A Filos-Ratsikas, PW Goldberg - Proceedings of the 51st Annual ACM …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
We resolve the computational complexity of two problems known as Necklace Splitting and
Discrete Ham Sandwich, showing that they are PPA-complete. For Necklace Splitting, this …

Consensus halving is PPA-complete

A Filos-Ratsikas, PW Goldberg - Proceedings of the 50th Annual ACM …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
We show that the computational problem Consensus Halving is PPA-Complete, the first PPA-
Completeness result for a problem whose definition does not involve an explicit circuit. We …

[PDF][PDF] A strategic analysis of prepayments in financial credit networks

H Zhou, Y Wang, K Varsos, N Bishop, R Savani… - Proceedings of …, 2024 - ijcai.org
In financial credit networks, prepayments enable a firm to settle its debt obligations ahead of
an agreed-upon due date. Prepayments have a transformative impact on the structure of …

[PDF][PDF] Dynamic clearing and contagion in financial networks

T Banerjee, A Bernstein, Z Feinstein - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - researchgate.net
In this paper we will consider a generalized extension of the Eisenberg-Noe model of
financial contagion to allow for time dynamics in both discrete and continuous time …

PPP-completeness with connections to cryptography

K Sotiraki, M Zampetakis… - 2018 IEEE 59th Annual …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Polynomial Pigeonhole Principle (PPP) is an important subclass of TFNP with profound
connections to the complexity of the fundamental cryptographic primitives: collision-resistant …

Allocating stimulus checks in times of crisis

M Papachristou, J Kleinberg - Proceedings of the ACM Web Conference …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the problem of financial assistance (bailouts, stimulus payments, or subsidy
allocations) in a network where individuals experience income shocks. These questions are …
