Query complexity of correlated equilibrium

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We study lower bounds on the query complexity of determining correlated equilibrium. In particular, we consider a query model in which an n-player game is specified via a black box that returns players' utilities at pure action profiles. In this model, we establish that in order to compute a correlated equilibrium, any deterministic algorithm must query the black box an exponential (in n) number of times.
