Computing Optimal Contracts in Series-Parallel Heterogeneous Combinatorial Agencies
We study an economic setting in which a principal motivates a team of strategic agents to exert costly effort toward the success of a joint project. The action taken by each agent...

Solving Hidden Number Problem with One Bit Oracle and Advice
In the Hidden Number Problem (HNP), the goal is to find a hidden number s, when given p, g and access to an oracle that on query a returns the k most significant bits of s · ga ...

Better Binary List-Decodable Codes Via Multilevel Concatenation
We give a polynomial time construction of binary codes with the best currently known trade-off between rate and error-correction radius. Specifically, we obtain linear codes ove...

Multi-objective Model Checking of Markov Decision Processes
We study and provide efficient algorithms for multi-objective model checking problems for Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). Given an MDP, M, and given multiple linear-time (ω-regu...

Contraction and Treewidth Lower Bounds
Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all ...
