Existence of Nash Equilibria in Selfish Routing Problems
The problem of routing traffic through a congested network is studied. The framework is that introduced by Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou where the network is constituted by m paral...

The Checkpoint Problem
In this paper, we consider the checkpoint problem in which given an undirected graph G, a set of sourcedestinations {(s1, t1), (s1, t1), . . . , (sk, tk)} and a set of fixed paths...

The Steering Approach for Multi-Criteria Reinforcement Learning
We consider the problem of learning to attain multiple goals in a dynamic environment, which is initially unknown. In addition, the environment may contain arbitrarily varying ele...

SDP Gaps for 2-to-1 and Other Label-Cover Variants
In this paper we present semidefinite programming (SDP) gap instances for the following variants of the Label-Cover problem, closely related to the Unique Games Conjecture: (i) 2-...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
