The degree-constrained minimum spanning tree (DCMST) is relevant in the design of networks. It consists of finding a spanning tree whose nodes do not exceed a given maximum degree...
We study the frugality ratio of truthful mechanisms in path auctions, which measures the extent to which truthful mechanisms “overpay” compared to non-truthful mechanisms. In p...
This study develops a novel model, GA-SVR, for parameters optimization in support vector regression and implements this new model in a problem forecasting maximum electrical daily...
Reputation-based mechanisms and policies are vulnerable to the submission of untruthful ratings. In this paper, we define and analyze a game-theoretic model that captures the dyn...
Web caching has been recognized as an effective scheme to alleviate the service bottleneck and reduce the network traffic, thereby minimizing the user access latency on the Intern...
