On Allocating Goods to Maximize Fairness
Given a set A of m agents and a set I of n items, where agent A ∈ A has utility uA,i for item i ∈ I, our goal is to allocate items to agents to maximize fairness. Specificall...

Message-passing for Maximum Weight Independent Set
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the use of messagepassing algorithms for the problem of finding the max-weight independent set (MWIS) in a graph. First, we study the perfor...
