: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...
Given a (directed or undirected) graph with edge costs, the power of a node is the maximum cost of an edge leaving it, and the power of the graph is the sum of the powers of its n...
We consider a revenue maximization problem where we are selling a set of comparable items, each available in a certain quantity (possibly unlimited) to a set of bidders. Each bidde...

We consider the problem of removing a given disk from a collection of unit disks in the plane. At each step, we allow a disk to be removed by a collision-free translation to infin...
This is a continuation of our paper "A Theory of Pfaffian Orientations I: Perfect Matchings and Permanents". We present a new combinatorial way to compute the generating...
