We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

Abstract. Classical network flow theory allows decomposition of flow into several chunks of arbitrary sizes traveling through the network on different paths. In the first part ...
We consider a number of dynamic problems with no known poly-logarithmic upper bounds, and show that they require n(1) time per operation, unless 3SUM has strongly subquadratic alg...
This paper derives the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) on estimates of the frequency of a coherent pulse-train passively intercepted at a moving antenna. Such estimates are used to ...
We show that every construction of one-time signature schemes from a random oracle achieves black-box security at most 2(1+o(1))q , where q is the total number of oracle queries a...
