In an online linear optimization problem, on each period t, an online algorithm chooses st S from a fixed (possibly infinite) set S of feasible decisions. Nature (who may be adve...
Let O = {O1, . . . , Om} be a set of m convex polygons in R2 with a total of n vertices, and let B be another convex k-gon. A placement of B, any congruent copy of B (without refle...

We present a unified optimal semi-online algorithm for preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines with the objective to minimize the makespan. This algorithm works for a...
With the advent of deep sub-micron (DSM) era, floorplanning has become increasingly important in physical design process. In this paper we clarify a misunderstanding in using Lag...
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...
