Balanced max 2-sat might not be the hardest
We show that, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, it is NPhard to approximate MAX 2-SAT within LLZ + , where 0.9401 < LLZ < 0.9402 is the believed approximation ratio of t...

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...

Note on MAX 2SAT
In this note we present an approximation algorithm for MAX 2SAT that given a (1 - ) satisfiable instance finds an assignment of variables satisfying a 1 - O( ) fraction of all co...

Optimality and Complexity of Pure Nash Equilibria in the Coverage Game
In this paper, we investigate the coverage problem in wireless sensor networks using a game theory method. We assume that nodes are randomly scattered in a sensor field and the goa...
