True costs of cheap labor are hard to measure: edge deletion and VCG payments in graphs
We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...

Hardness of Max 3SAT with No Mixed Clauses
We study the complexity of approximating Max NME3SAT, a variant of Max 3SAT when the instances are guaranteed to not have any mixed clauses, i.e., every clause has either all its ...

Roundings Respecting Hard Constraints
We provide a deterministic algorithm that constructs small point sets exhibiting a low star discrepancy. The algorithm is based on recent results on randomized roundings respectin...

Walrasian Equilibrium: Hardness, Approximations and Tractable Instances
We study the complexity issues for Walrasian equilibrium in a special case of combinatorial auction, called single-minded auction, in which every participant is interested in only ...

Adding one edge to planar graphs makes crossing number hard
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...
