Paths of Bounded Length and Their Cuts: Parameterized Complexity and Algorithms
We study the parameterized complexity of two families of problems: the bounded length disjoint paths problem and the bounded length cut problem. From Menger’s theorem both proble...

On the Performance of Approximate Equilibria in Congestion Games
We study the performance of approximate Nash equilibria for congestion games with polynomial latency functions. We consider how much the price of anarchy worsens and how much the ...
