We investigate the problem of maintaining a topology with small degree as well as small diameter in a dynamic distributed system such that the system always stays connected and pr...
Graphical games have been proposed as a game-theoretic model of large-scale distributed networks of non-cooperative agents. When the number of players is large, and the underlying...

We propose a model called priority branching trees (pBT ) for backtracking and dynamic programming algorithms. Our model generalizes both the priority model of Borodin, Nielson an...

Abstract. While the complexity of min-max and min-max regret versions of most classical combinatorial optimization problems has been thoroughly investigated, there are very few stu...

Abstract— Applications in complex systems such as the Internet have spawned recent interest in studying situations involving multiple agents with their individual cost or utility...
