Computing minimum distortion embeddings into a path for bipartite permutation graphs and threshold graphs
The problem of computing minimum distortion embeddings of a given graph into a line (path) was introduced in 2004 and has quickly attracted significant attention with subsequent ...

Inapproximability Results for Combinatorial Auctions with Submodular Utility Functions
We consider the following allocation problem arising in the setting of combinatorial auctions: a set of goods is to be allocated to a set of players so as to maximize the sum of t...

A differential geometric approach to discrete-coefficient filter design
This paper is concerned with the problem of computing a discretecoefficient approximation to a digital filter. In contrast to earlier works that have approached this problem usi...

On Allocating Goods to Maximize Fairness
Given a set A of m agents and a set I of n items, where agent A ∈ A has utility uA,i for item i ∈ I, our goal is to allocate items to agents to maximize fairness. Specificall...

Algorithms for Identifying Rigid Subsystems in Geometric Constraint Systems
The structural rigidity property, a generalization of Laman’s theorem which characterizes rigid bar frameworks in 2D, is generally considered a good approximation of rigidity in...
