The (axis-parallel) stabbing number of a given set of line segments is the maximum number of segments that can be intersected by any one (axis-parallel) line. We investigate probl...
Bandwidth is a fundamental concept in graph theory which has some surprising applications to a class of AI search problems. Graph bandwidth provides a link between the syntactic s...
Inductive programming systems characteristically exhibit an exponential explosion in search time as one increases the size of the programs to be generated. As a way of overcoming ...
In this paper, we study a particular subclass of partially observable models, called quasi-deterministic partially observable Markov decision processes (QDET-POMDPs), characterize...
We consider collusion in multi-unit auctions where the allocation and payments are determined using the VCG mechanism. We show how collusion can increase the utility of the collud...
