A Continuation Method for Nash Equilibria in Structured Games
We describe algorithms for computing Nash equilibria in structured game representations, including both graphical games and multi-agent influence diagrams (MAIDs). The algorithms...

Subexponential Algorithms for Unique Games and Related Problems
We give subexponential time approximation algorithms for UNIQUE GAMES and the SMALL-SET EXPANSION. Specifically, for some absolute constant c, we give:

Timed Alternating-Time Temporal Logic
We add freeze quantifiers to the game logic ATL in order to specify real-time objectives for games played on timed structures. We define the semantics of the resulting logic TATL b...

HexGraph: Applying Graph Drawing Algorithms to the Game of Hex
Hex is a classic board game for two players. There exists an intuitive mapping of the state of a hex game onto a graph. The motivation of the work presented in this paper was to cr...
