We consider ranking and clustering problems related to the aggregation of inconsistent information. Ailon, Charikar, and Newman [1] proposed randomized constant factor approximatio...
For a connected graph G, let L(G) denote the maximum number of leaves in a spanning tree in G. The problem of computing L(G) is known to be NP-hard even for cubic graphs. We improv...
In a buyer-supplier game, a special type of assignment game, a distinguished player, called the buyer, wishes to purchase some combinatorial structure. A set of players, called sup...
We continue the study of bin packing with splittable items and cardinality constraints. In this problem, a set of items must be packed into as few bins as possible. Items may be s...
In the incremental version of the well-known k-median problem the objective is to compute an incremental sequence of facility sets F1 ⊆ F2 ⊆ .... ⊆ Fn, where each Fk contain...
