Exploiting Concavity in Bimatrix Games: New Polynomially Tractable Subclasses
Abstract. We study the fundamental problem of computing an arbitrary Nash equilibrium in bimatrix games. We start by proposing a novel characterization of the set of Nash equilibri...

Two-Source Extractors Secure against Quantum Adversaries
We initiate the study of multi-source extractors in the quantum world. In this setting, our goal is to extract random bits from two independent weak random sources, on which two q...

Rumor Spreading on Random Regular Graphs and Expanders
Broadcasting algorithms are important building blocks of distributed systems. In this work we investigate the typical performance of the classical and well-studied push model. Assu...

Improved Rounding for Parallel Repeated Unique Games
We show a tight relation between the behavior of unique games under parallel repetition and their semidefinite value. Let G be a unique game with alphabet size k. Suppose the semid...

Learning and Lower Bounds for AC0 with Threshold Gates
In 2002 Jackson et al. [JKS02] asked whether AC0 circuits augmented with a threshold gate at the output can be efficiently learned from uniform random examples. We answer this ques...

Lower Bounds for Local Monotonicity Reconstruction from Transitive-Closure Spanners
Abstract. Given a directed graph G = (V, E) and an integer k 1, a ktransitive-closure-spanner (k-TC-spanner) of G is a directed graph H = (V, EH ) that has (1) the same transitive...

Acyclic type-of-relationship problems on the internet: an experimental analysis
An experimental study of the feasibility and accuracy of the acyclicity approach introduced in [14] for the inference of business relationships among autonomous systems (ASes) is ...
