On the Complexity of Nash Equilibria and Other Fixed Points
We reexamine what it means to compute Nash equilibria and, more generally, what it means to compute a fixed point of a given Brouwer function, and we investigate the complexity o...

Randomly supported independence and resistance
We prove that for any positive integer k, there is a constant ck such that a randomly selected set of cknk log n Boolean vectors with high probability supports a balanced k-wise i...

Minimizing Average Flow-Time
We consider the problem of minimizing average flow time on multiple machines when each job can be assigned only to a specified subset of the machines. This is a special case of sc...
