An important research thread in algorithmic game theory studies the design of efficient truthful mechanisms that approximate the optimal social welfare. A fundamental question is ...
We formulate the problem of computing equilibria in multiplayer games represented by arbitrary undirected graphs as a constraint satisfaction problem and present two algorithms. T...

We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...
We consider the following planar maximum weight triangulation (MAT) problem: given a set of n points in the plane, find a triangulation such that the total length of edges in tria...
It has been a challenging open problem whether there is a polynomial time approximation algorithm for the Vertex Cover problem whose approximation ratio is bounded by a constant l...
