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. A key application of our techniques yields the result that it is also PSPACE -complete to compute any of the equilibria that could be found via the classical Lemke-Howson algorithm.

Joint work with Paul W. Goldberg and Christos H. Papadimitriou.
