We consider the following allocation problem arising in the setting of combinatorial auctions: a set of goods is to be allocated to a set of players so as to maximize the sum of t...

We introduce a new problem that was motivated by a (more complicated) problem arising in a robotized assembly environment. The bin coloring problem is to pack unit size colored it...
This paper investigates the computational complexity of approximating several NPoptimization problems using the number of queries to an NP oracle as a complexity measure. The resu...
We develop and evaluate a semiparametric method to estimate the mean-value function of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) using one or more process realizations observed over...
: A fundamental problem in communication networks is wavelength assignment (WA): given a set of routing paths on a network, assign a wavelength to each path such that the paths wit...
