Complexity ( for Algorithm Designers ) Lecture # 8 : Lower Bounds in Algorithmic Game Theory ∗

چکیده

This lecture explains some applications of communication complexity to proving lower bounds in algorithmic game theory (AGT), at the border of computer science and economics. There are a number of situations in AGT where the natural description size of an object is exponential a parameter of interest, and one would like to non-trivial computation in time polynomial in the parameter (logarithmic in the description size). As we’ve seen, communication complexity is a great tool for understanding when non-trivial computations require looking at most of the input.
