E-commerce, and online auctions in particular, represent important examples of how information and communication technologies have been employed by public organizations to gain be...
We study truthful mechanisms for auctions in which the auctioneer is trying to hire a team of agents to perform a complex task, and paying them for their work. As common in the ...
: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...
Abstract. We consider the numerical evolutionary optimization of dynamic molecular alignment by shaped femtosecond laser pulses. We study a simplified model of this quantum contro...
We give direct constructions of pseudorandom function (PRF) families based on conjectured hard lattice problems and learning problems. Our constructions are asymptotically effici...
