On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...

On Nash-Equilibria of Approximation-Stable Games
Abstract. One reason for wanting to compute an (approximate) Nash equilibrium of a game is to predict how players will play. However, if the game has multiple equilibria that are f...

On Learning Algorithms for Nash Equilibria
Can learning algorithms find a Nash equilibrium? This is a natural question for several reasons. Learning algorithms resemble the behavior of players in many naturally arising gam...

Understanding Parallel Repetition Requires Understanding Foams
Motivated by the study of Parallel Repetition and also by the Unique Games Conjecture, we investigate the value of the “Odd Cycle Games” under parallel repetition. Using tools...
