Title: How Hard is it to Find Nash Equilibria?

Abstract

Prior to last year, very little was known about the computational complexity of finding Nash equilibria for strategic games. In fall of 2005, a series of results appeared (by Daskalakis, Goldberg, and Papadimitriou; and Chen and Deng) which led to the determination that NASH is PPAD-complete. I will be discussing these results, what PPAD is, and how it is related to more familiar complexity classes.
