Locally Informed Global Search for Sums of Combinatorial Games
Abstract. There are two complementary approaches to playing sums of combinatorial games. They can be characterized as local analysis and global search. Algorithms from combinatoria...

Applying metaheuristic techniques to search the space of bidding strategies in combinatorial auctions
Many non-cooperative settings that could potentially be studied using game theory are characterized by having very large strategy spaces and payoffs that are costly to compute. Be...

A Fourier space algorithm for solving quadratic assignment problems
The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a central problem in combinatorial optimization. Several famous computationally hard tasks, such as graph matching, partitioning, and the...

Analysis of Approximation Algorithms for k-Set Cover Using Factor-Revealing Linear Programs
We present new combinatorial approximation algorithms for k-set cover. Previous approaches are based on extending the greedy algorithm by efficiently handling small sets. The new a...
