Tolls for Heterogeneous Selfish Users in Multicommodity Networks and Generalized Congestion Games
We prove the existence of tolls to induce multicommodity, heterogeneous network users that independently choose routes minimizing their own linear function of tolls versus latency...

Edge-Disjoint Paths in Planar Graphs
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs (demands) s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number ...

Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...

Approximating the Stochastic Knapsack Problem: The Benefit of Adaptivity
We consider a stochastic variant of the NP-hard 0/1 knapsack problem in which item values are deterministic and item sizes are independent random variables with known, arbitrary d...

Assignment Testers: Towards a Combinatorial Proof of the PCP-Theorem
In this work we look back into the proof of the PCP Theorem, with the goal of finding new proofs that are "more combinatorial" and arguably simpler. For that we introduc...
