Computationally-Feasible Truthful Auctions for Convex Bundles
In many economic settings, convex figures on the plane are for sale. For example, one might want to sell advertising space on a newspaper page. Selfish agents must be motivated ...

Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...

Submodular Maximization by Simulated Annealing
We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative (possibly non-monotone) submodular set function with or without constraints. Feige et al. [9] showed a 2/5-approximation for th...

On Approximating Multi-Criteria TSP
Abstract. We present approximation algorithms for almost all variants of the multicriteria traveling salesman problem (TSP), whose performances are independent of the number k of c...

Complete Coverage Control for Nonholonomic Mobile Robots in Dynamic Environments
— We study the problem of generating continuous steering control for robots to completely cover a bounded region over a finite time. First, we pack the area by disks of minimum ...
