Distributed Methods for Computing Approximate Equilibria [PDF]

, 2015
We present a new, distributed method to compute approximate Nash equilibria in bimatrix games. In contrast to previous approaches that analyze the two payoff matrices at the same time (for example, by solving a single LP that combines the two players ...
