On the Approximability of Budgeted Allocations and Improved Lower Bounds for Submodular Welfare Maximization and GAP
In this paper we consider the following maximum budgeted allocation (MBA) problem: Given a set of m indivisible items and n agents; each agent i willing to pay bij on item j and w...

Geometric lower bounds for parametric matroid optimization
We relate the sequence of minimum bases of a matroid with linearly varying weights to three problems from combinatorial geometry: k-sets, lower envelopes of line segments, and con...

ROMAN DOMINATION: a parameterized perspective
Abstract. We analyze Roman domination from a parameterized perspective. More specifically, we prove that this problem is W[2]-complete for general graphs. However, parameterized al...

A General Scheme for Multiple Lower Bound Computation in Constraint Optimization
Abstract. Computing lower bounds to the best-cost extension of a tuple is an ubiquous task in constraint optimization. A particular case of special interest is the computation of l...

Revisiting the Direct Sum Theorem and Space Lower Bounds in Random Order Streams
Estimating frequency moments and Lp distances are well studied problems in the adversarial data stream model and tight space bounds are known for these two problems. There has been...
