In many settings the power of truthful mechanisms is severely bounded. In this paper we use randomization to overcome this problem. In particular, we construct an FPTAS for multi-...
An extended algorithm of the relative reward strength algorithm is proposed. It is shown that the proposed algorithm ensures the convergence with probability 1 to the optimal path ...
A useful theorem of Kuˇcera states that given a Martin-L¨of random infinite binary sequence ω and an effectively open set A of measure less than 1, some tail of ω is not in A...

Abstract--This work studies the near-optimality versus the complexity of distributed configuration management for wireless networks. We first develop a global probabilistic graphic...
This paper is devoted to the “Discovery of Slowness.” The archetypical perversely awful algorithm bogo-sort, which is sometimes referred to as Monkey-sort, is analyzed with ele...
