A Hybrid of Inference and Local Search for Distributed Combinatorial Optimization
We present a new hybrid algorithm for local search in distributed combinatorial optimization. This method is a mix between classical local search methods in which nodes take decis...

Computing Betti Numbers via Combinatorial Laplacians
We use the Laplacian and power method to compute Betti numbers of simplicial complexes. This has a number of advantages over other methods, both in theory and in practice. It requ...

Towards a universal test suite for combinatorial auction algorithms
General combinatorial auctions—auctions in which bidders place unrestricted bids for bundles of goods—are the subject of increasing study. Much of this work has focused on alg...

Bumblebees: a multiagent combinatorial optimization algorithm inspired by social insect behaviour
This paper introduces a multiagent optimization algorithm inspired by the collective behavior of social insects. In our method, each agent encodes a possible solution of the probl...

Bundle Design in Robust Combinatorial Auction Protocol against False-name Bids
This paper presents a method for designing bundles in a combinatorial auction protocol that is robust against false-name bids. Internet auctions have become an integral part of El...
