Maximum congestion games on networks: How can we compute their equilibria?
(2007-09)
Research report
Open AccessWe study Network Maximum Congestion Games, a class of network games where players choose a path between two given nodes in order to minimize the congestion of the bottleneck (the most congested link) of their path. For ... -
Network creation games: structure vs anarchy
(2017-09-03)
Research report
Open AccessWe study Nash equilibria and the price of anarchy in the classical model of Network Creation Games introduced by Fabrikant et al. In this model every agent (node) buys links at a prefixed price a > 0 in order to get connected ... -
Network formation for asymmetric players and bilateral contracting
(2016-10-01)
Article
Open AccessWe study a network formation game where players wish to send traffic to other players. Players can be seen as nodes of an undirected graph whose edges are defined by contracts between the corresponding players. Each player ... -
On bipartite sum basic equilibria
(Springer, 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessA connected and undirected graph G of size n≥1 is said to be a sum basic equilibrium iff for every edge uv from G and any node v′ from G, when performing the swap of the edge uv for the edge uv′ the sum of the ... -
On dlogtime and polylogtime reductions
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Departament de Llenguatges i Sistemes Informàtics, 1993)
Conference report
Open AccessWe investigate properties of the relativized NC and AC hierarchies in their DLOGTIME-. respectively, ALOGTIME-uniform setting and show that these hierarchies can be characterized in terms of adaptive reducibility in ... -
On the existence of Nash equilibria in strategic search games
(2011)
Conference report
Open AccessWe consider a general multi-agent framework in which a set of n agents are roaming a network where m valuable and sharable goods (resources, services, information ....) are hidden in m different vertices of the network. ... -
On the PoA conjecture: Trees versus biconnected components
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 2023)
Article
Open AccessIn the classical model of network creation games introduced by Fabrikant et al. [Ona network creation game, in Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual Symposium on Principlesof Distributed Computing (PODC`03), 2003, pp. ... -
On the price of anarchy for high-price links
(Springer, 2019)
Conference report
Open AccessWe study Nash equilibria and the price of anarchy in the classic model of Network Creation Games introduced by Fabrikant, Luthra, Maneva, Papadimitriou and Shenker in 2003. This is a selfish network creation model where ... -
On the proper intervalization of colored caterpillar trees
(2009-11-01)
Research report
Open AccessThis paper studies the computational complexity of the Proper interval colored graph problem (picg), when the input graph is a colored caterpillar, parameterized by hair length. In order prove our result we establish a ... -

Parallel complexity in the design and analysis of concurrent systems
(1990-10)
Research report
Open AccessWe study the parallel complexity of three problems on concurrency: decision of firing sequences for Petri nets, trace equivalence for partially commutative monoids, and strong bisimilarity in finite transition systems. We ... -
Parallel complexity of partially commutative monoids
(1989-01)
Research report
Open AccessWe consider the parallel complexity of some problems issued from Petri nets, partially commutative monoids and finite automata. we prove the following: (19 The membership problem for firing sequances on Petri Nets can be ... -

(2005-09)
Research report
Open AccessWe study the computational complexity of deciding the existence of a Pure Nash Equilibrium or a subgame perfect equilibrium with a given payoff and other related problems in finite multi-player extensive games with perfect ... -
Pure Nash equilibria in games with a large number of actions
(2004-11)
Research report
Open AccessWe study the computational complexity of deciding the existence of a Pure Nash Equilibrium in multi-player strategic games. We address two fundamental questions: how can we represent a game?, and how can we represent a ... -

Some results of Maria Serna on strategic games: Complexity of equilibria and models
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Article
Open AccessWe survey some recent work of Maria Serna concerning strategic games. We first examine some results related to the formal representation of strategic games and the complexity of problems related to both the existence of ... -
Stars and celebrities: A network creation game
(2015)
Research report
Open AccessCelebrity games, a new model of network creation games is introduced. The specific features of this model are that players have different celebrity weights and that a critical distance is taken into consideration. The aim ... -
The Complexity of deciding stability under FFS in the adversarial model
(2003-04)
Research report
Open AccessIn this paper we show the polynomial time decidability of the stability property under FFS in the case that the adversary can solve ties arbitrarily. This results follows from a characterization of the stability property ...
