Near-optimal algorithms for unique games
Unique games are constraint satisfaction problems that can be viewed as a generalization of Max-Cut to a larger domain size. The Unique Games Conjecture states that it is hard to ...

On Threshold BDDs and the Optimal Variable Ordering Problem
Abstract. Many combinatorial optimization problems can be formulated as 0/1 integer programs (0/1 IPs). The investigation of the structure of these problems raises the following ta...

Cryptographic Combinatorial Clock-Proxy Auctions
We present a cryptographic protocol for conducting efficient, provably correct and secrecy-preserving combinatorial clock-proxy auctions. The “clock phase” functions as a trust...
