The Complexity of Sparse Win-Lose Bimatrix Games

Abstract

We prove that computing an ε-approximate Nash equilibrium of a win-lose bimatrix game with constant sparsity is PPAD-hard for inverse-polynomial ε. Our result holds for 3-sparse games, which is tight given that 2-sparse win-lose bimatrix games can be solved in polynomial time.
