Directed soft arc consistency in pseudo trees
We propose an efficient method that applies directed soft arc consistency to a Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) which is a fundamental framework of multi-agent ...

GSP auctions with correlated types
The Generalized Second Price (GSP) auction is the primary method by which sponsered search advertisements are sold. We study the performance of this auction in the Bayesian settin...

A Constraint Generation Approach to Learning Stable Linear Dynamical Systems
Stability is a desirable characteristic for linear dynamical systems, but it is often ignored by algorithms that learn these systems from data. We propose a novel method for learn...

Crossing and Weighted Crossing Number of Near-Planar Graphs
A nonplanar graph G is near-planar if it contains an edge e such that G − e is planar. The problem of determining the crossing number of a near-planar graph is exhibited from di...

Scheduling with Precedence Constraints of Low Fractional Dimension
Abstract. We consider the single machine scheduling problem to minimize the average weighted completion time under precedence constrains. Improving on the various 2-approximation a...
