On maximizing welfare when utility functions are subadditive
We consider the problem of maximizing welfare when allocating m items to n players with subadditive utility functions. Our main result is a way of rounding any fractional solution...

Efficiently Generating Structurally Complex Inputs with Thousands of Objects
Abstract. We present Shekoosh, a novel framework for constraint-based generation of structurally complex inputs of large sizes. Given a Java predicate that represents the desired s...
