Abstract Abstract. Recent work in the analysis of randomized approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems has involved approximating the solution to a problem by the ...
This paper considers the problem of packet-mode scheduling of input queuedswitches. Packets have variable lengths, and are divided into cells of unit length. Each packet arrives t...
We relate two problems that have been explored in two distinct communities. The first is the problem of combining expert advice, studied extensively in the computational learning...
We study the complexity of the Accretive Graph Assembly Problem (AGAP). An instance of AGAP consists of an edge-weighted graph G, a seed vertex in G, and a temperature . The goal i...
We consider the problem of max-min fair allocation of indivisible goods. Our focus will be on the restricted version of the problem in which there are m items, each of which assoc...
