Pricing Network Edges to Cross a River
Abstract. We consider a Stackelberg pricing problem in directed networks. Tariffs have to be defined by an operator, the leader, for a subset of the arcs, the tariff arcs. Clien...

The soft heap: an approximate priority queue with optimal error rate
A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat...

Optimal tracking of distributed heavy hitters and quantiles
We consider the the problem of tracking heavy hitters and quantiles in the distributed streaming model. The heavy hitters and quantiles are two important statistics for characteri...
