Incentive analysis of approximately efficient allocation algorithms
We present a series of results providing evidence that the incentive problem with VCG-based mechanisms is not very severe. Our first result uses average-case analysis to show that ...

Computing minimum cuts by randomized search heuristics
We study the minimum s-t-cut problem in graphs with costs on the edges in the context of evolutionary algorithms. Minimum cut problems belong to the class of basic network optimiz...

Algorithm Engineering for Color-Coding with Applications to Signaling Pathway Detection
Color-coding is a technique to design fixed-parameter algorithms for several NP-complete subgraph isomorphism problems. Somewhat surprisingly, not much work has so far been spent ...

Minimizing the object dimensions in circle and sphere packing problems
Given a fixed set of identical or different-sized circular items, the problem we deal with consists on finding the smallest object within which the items can be packed. Circular, ...
