We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

We consider the problem of maximizing the minimum load for machines that are controlled by selfish agents, who are only interested in maximizing their own profit. Unlike the class...
—Recently, a new optical device called variable optical delay line (VODL) has been proposed in the literature. As suggested by its name, the delay of a VODL can be dynamically se...

In this paper we present a new approximation algorithm for Unique Games. For a Unique Game with n vertices and k states (labels), if a (1 − ε) fraction of all constraints is sa...

Abstract. A strong vertex coloring of a hypergraph assigns distinct colors to vertices that are contained in a common hyperedge. This captures many previously studied graph colorin...
