Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...

How Do You Like Your Equilibrium Selection Problems? Hard, or Very Hard?
The PPAD-completeness of Nash equilibrium computation is taken as evidence that the problem is computationally hard in the worst case. This evidence is necessarily rather weak, in ...
