The optimal prize structure of symmetric Tullock contests [PDF]

open access: yesPublic Choice, 2009
We show that the optimal prize structure of symmetric n-player Tullock tournaments assigns the entire prize pool to the winner, provided that a symmetric pure strategy equilibrium exists. If such an equilibrium fails to exist under the winner-take-all structure, we construct the optimal prize structure which improves existence conditions by dampening ...

Symmetric tensor networks for generative modeling and constrained combinatorial optimization

open access: yesMachine Learning: Science and Technology, 2023
Constrained combinatorial optimization problems abound in industry, from portfolio optimization to logistics. One of the major roadblocks in solving these problems is the presence of non-trivial hard constraints which limit the valid search space.
