This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Algorithms and Complexity, CIAC 2013, held in Barcelona, Spain, during May 22-24, 2013. The 31 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions. The papers present current research in all aspects of computational complexity and the use, design, analysis and experimentation of efficient algorithms and data structures.
The book explores recent advancements in learning and competition through finite automata and dynamic mechanism design, addressing various auction mechanisms under different constraints. It delves into truthful auctions aiming for optimal profit and mechanisms with verification across finite domains. The complexities of pure-strategy Nash equilibria in congestion and local-effect games are examined, alongside strong and correlated equilibria in monotone congestion games. The existence of equilibria in finite network congestion games is analyzed, as well as optimal cost-sharing mechanisms for Steiner forest problems. The work also investigates mechanisms to induce random choices and Bayesian optimal no-deficit designs. It discusses game-theoretic aspects of hyperlink structures and customer competition in social networks, along with the challenges of selfish service installation in networks and connectivity games. Additionally, it covers assignment problems in rental markets and portfolio risk-adjusted duration models. The text presents new algorithms for market equilibrium computations, rationality in Eisenberg-Gale markets, and the operationalization of economic theory. Sparse games are identified as complex, while polynomial algorithms for approximating Nash equilibria in bimatrix games are proposed. The book also touches on ranking sports teams, the price of anarchy in polynomial Wardrop games, and worm propagation models b
This book consitutes the proceedings of the Third Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA '95, held in Corfu, Greece in September 1995. The volume presents 42 full revised papers selected during a careful refereeing process from a total of 119 submissions; in addition, there is a prominent keynote address. This year, the scope has been further expanded to new areas of computational endeavour in science; the book covers many aspects of algorithms research and application ranging from combinatorial mathematics to hardware design.
