Approximation Algorithms for Non-single-minded Profit-Maximization Problems with Limited Supply
We consider profit-maximization problems for combinatorial auctions with non-single minded valuation functions and limited supply. We obtain fairly general results that relate the ...

Reducing mechanism design to algorithm design via machine learning
We use techniques from sample-complexity in machine learning to reduce problems of incentive-compatible mechanism design to standard algorithmic questions, for a broad class of re...

A Bidding Algorithm for Optimized Utility-Based Resource Allocation in Ad Hoc Networks
Abstract-- This article proposes a scheme for bandwidth allocation in wireless ad hoc networks. The quality of service (QoS) levels for each end-to-end flow are expressed using a r...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...
