The Complexity of the Homotopy Method, Equilibrium Selection, and Lemke-Howson Solutions [PDF]
, 2010 We show that the widely used homotopy method for solving fixpoint problems, as well as the Harsanyi-Selten equilibrium selection process for games, are PSPACE-complete to implement.

Strong Nash Equilibria in Games with the Lexicographical Improvement Property [PDF]
, 2009 We introduce a class of finite strategic games with the property that every deviation of a coalition of players that is profitable to each of its members strictly decreases the lexicographical order of a certain function defined on the set of strategy ...
