Unambiguous Computation: Boolean Hierarchies and Sparse Turing-Complete Sets
It is known that for any class C closed under union and intersection, the Boolean closure of C, the Boolean hierarchy over C, and the symmetric difference hierarchy over C all are ...

Approximation Algorithms for the Graph Orientation Minimizing the Maximum Weighted Outdegree
Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) and a weight function w : E → Z+ , we consider the problem of orienting all edges in E so that the maximum weighted outdegree among all verti...

An Approximate Max-Steiner-Tree-Packing Min-Steiner-Cut Theorem
Given an undirected multigraph G and a subset of vertices S V (G), the STEINER TREE PACKING problem is to find a largest collection of edge-disjoint trees that each connects S. T...

Approximation Schemes for Sequential Posted Pricing in Multi-unit Auctions
We design algorithms for computing approximately revenue-maximizing sequential postedpricing mechanisms (SPM) in K-unit auctions, in a standard Bayesian model. A seller has K copi...

Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...
