We present approximation and online algorithms for a number of problems of pricing items for sale so as to maximize seller’s revenue in an unlimited supply setting. Our first r...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
We raise the question of approximating the compressibility of a string with respect to a fixed compression scheme, in sublinear time. We study this question in detail for two popu...

This paper studies distributed scheduling of parallel I/O data transfers on systems that provide data replication. In our previous work, we proposed a centralized algorithm for so...
Abstract--Max-product "belief propagation" (BP) is an iterative, message-passing algorithm for finding the maximum a posteriori (MAP) assignment of a discrete probability...
