Characterizing sets of jobs that admit optimal greedy-like algorithms
The “ Priority Algorithm” is a model of computation introduced by Borodin, Nielsen and Rackoff [BNR03] which formulates a wide class of greedy algorithms. For an arbitrary se...

How Do You Like Your Equilibrium Selection Problems? Hard, or Very Hard?
The PPAD-completeness of Nash equilibrium computation is taken as evidence that the problem is computationally hard in the worst case. This evidence is necessarily rather weak, in ...

On Learning Algorithms for Nash Equilibria
Can learning algorithms find a Nash equilibrium? This is a natural question for several reasons. Learning algorithms resemble the behavior of players in many naturally arising gam...

Trace data characterization and fitting for Markov modeling
We propose a trace fitting algorithm for Markovian Arrival Processes (MAPs) that can capture statistics of any order of interarrival times between measured events. By studying re...
