On characterizations of truthful mechanisms for combinatorial auctions and scheduling
We characterize truthful mechanisms in two multi-parameter domains. The first characterization shows that every mechanism for combinatorial auctions with two subadditive bidders t...

Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

Lattice Structures from Planar Graphs
The set of all orientations of a planar graph with prescribed outdegrees carries the structure of a distributive lattice. This general theorem is proven in the first part of the p...

Weighted Geometric Set Cover via Quasi-Uniform Sampling
There has been much progress on geometric set cover problems, but most known techniques only apply to the unweighted setting. For the weighted setting, very few results are known ...

Polynomial Time Data Reduction for Dominating Set
Dealing with the NP-complete Dominating Set problem on graphs, we demonstrate the power of data reduction by preprocessing from a theoretical as well as a practical side. In parti...
