Settling the complexity of computing approximate two-player Nash equilibria

A Rubinstein - ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2017 - dl.acm.org
In our recent paper [Rubinstein 2016] we rule out a PTAS for the 2-Player Nash Equilibrium
Problem. More precisely, we prove that there exists a constant ϵ> 0 such that, assuming the …

The strongish planted clique hypothesis and its consequences

P Manurangsi, A Rubinstein, T Schramm - arXiv preprint arXiv:2011.05555, 2020 - arxiv.org
We formulate a new hardness assumption, the Strongish Planted Clique Hypothesis
(SPCH), which postulates that any algorithm for planted clique must run in time $ n^{\Omega …
