In a recent paper, Amini et al. introduced a general framework to prove duality theorems between tree decompositions and their dual combinatorial object. They unify all known ad-h...
This paper develops a new combinatorial auction protocol called the Groves Mechanism with SubModular Approximation (GM-SMA). This protocol satisfies the following characteristics:...
We study the problem of selecting a subset of k random variables from a large set, in order to obtain the best linear prediction of another variable of interest. This problem can ...
We study discrete optimization problems with a submodular mean-risk minimization objective. For 0-1 problems a linear characterization of the convex lower envelope is given. For mi...
We consider a robust model proposed by Scarf, 1958, for stochastic optimization when only the marginal probabilities of (binary) random variables are given, and the correlation be...
