The complexity of optimal mechanism design
… has been a central question in economics and algorithmic game theory, but its complexity has remained poorly understood. We answer this question by showing that a revenue-optimal auction in multi-item settings cannot be found and implemented computationally efficiently, unless ZPP = P # p. …

The structure of auctions : optimality and efficiency
… revenue is central to mechanism design and to algorithmic game theory. While the special case of selling a single item has been well understood since the work of Myerson, progress on the multi-item case has been sporadic over the past three decades. In the first part of this thesis we develop a …

Mechanism design : from optimal transport theory to revenue maximization
A central problem in Economics and Algorithmic Game Theory is the design of auctions that maximize the auctioneer's expected revenue. While optimal selling of a single item has been well-understood since the pioneering work of Myerson in 1981, extending his work to multi-item settings has remained …

Dynamics and Phenomena in Stateful Multi-Agent Systems
… many cases, such social systems are inherently algorithmic and strategic; in others, agents may act in simpler behavioral ways in response to some underlying randomness in their environment. In real-world settings, of course, both of these features will likely arise. But regardless of the …

On resource distribution in network coordination game
… on their friends and families. We develop a new game-theoretical framework to model how people spend their time. Also, we analyze the extreme cases in this model. In addition, we do extensive simulations to understand the average case performance of the steady state. We find that our resource …

The complexity of continuous local search
… for finding a Nash equilibrium in a two-player game directly motivated the definition of the complexity class PPAD, which ended up capturing this problem’s complexity exactly. Finally, we reduce the 2-dimensional version of CONTRACTION to ENDOFPOTENTIALLINE, providing further evidence that …

Peer-to-peer interactive 3D media dissemination in networked virtual environments
… purpose, such asMassively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG), while others implement more of foundational frameworks which are not necessarily applications per se, but form platforms to create applications. The latter type of NVEs is referred to as metaverses. One of the premier examples of the …

Analysis and design of blockchain systems
… analysis frames mining as a dynamic mean-field game, identifying equilibrium strategies which guarantee that an attacker cannot profit from a double-spend attack. The third contribution presents a formal computational framework for understanding miner behavior in PoW systems, with a specific …
