Suppose a decision maker has to purchase a commodity over time with varying prices and demands. In particular, the price per unit might depend on the amount purchased and this pri...
We consider a representation for temporal relations between intervals introduced by James Allen, and its associated computational or reasoning problem: given possibly indefinite ...
We consider the design of strategyproof cost-sharing mechanisms. We give two simple, but extremely versatile, black-box reductions, that in combination reduce the cost-sharing mec...
This article introduces and explores the condition-based approach to solve the consensus problem in asynchronous systems. The approach studies conditions that identify sets of inpu...
We investigate the Semidefinite Programming based Sums of squares (SOS) decomposition method, designed for global optimization of polynomials, in the context of the (Maximum) Sati...
