Abstract

We study equilibrium computation for exchange markets. We show that the market equilibrium of either of the following two markets: 1. The Fisher market with several classes of concave nonhomogeneous utility functions; 2. A mixed Fisher and Arrow-Debreu market with homogeneous and log-concave utility functions can be computed as convex programming and by interior-point algorithms in polynomial time.
