Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
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...

Maximizing the minimum load for selfish agents
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...

Queueing Analysis of Loss Systems with Variable Optical Delay Lines
—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...

How to Play Unique Games Using Embeddings
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...

Strong Colorings of Hypergraphs
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...
