One n Remains to Settle the Tree Conjecture

Authors: Jack Dippel and Adrian Vetta

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 289, 41st International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2024)

Abstract
In the famous network creation game of Fabrikant et al. [Fabrikant et al., 2003] a set of agents play a game to build a connected graph. The n agents form the vertex set V of the graph and each vertex v ∈ V buys a set E_v of edges inducing a graph G = (V,⋃_{v∈V} E_v). The private objective of each vertex is to minimize the sum of its building cost (the cost of the edges it buys) plus its connection cost (the total distance from itself to every other vertex). Given a cost of α for each individual edge, a long-standing conjecture, called the tree conjecture, states that if α > n then every Nash equilibrium graph in the game is a spanning tree. After a plethora of work, it is known that the conjecture holds for any α > 3n-3. In this paper we prove the tree conjecture holds for α > 2n. This reduces by half the open range for α with only (n-3, 2n) remaining in order to settle the conjecture.

Large Supports are Required for Well-Supported Nash Equilibria

Authors: Yogesh Anbalagan, Hao Huang, Shachar Lovett, Sergey Norin, Adrian Vetta, and Hehui Wu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 40, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2015)

Abstract
We prove that for any constant k and any epsilon < 1, there exist bimatrix win-lose games for which every epsilon-WSNE requires supports of cardinality greater than k. To do this, we provide a graph-theoretic characterization of win-lose games that possess epsilon-WSNE with constant cardinality supports. We then apply a result in additive number theory of Haight to construct win-lose games that do not satisfy the requirements of the characterization. These constructions disprove graph theoretic conjectures of Daskalakis, Mehta and Papadimitriou and Myers.
