An algorithmic characterization of multi-dimensional mechanisms
We obtain a characterization of feasible, Bayesian, multi-item multi-bidder mechanisms with independent, additive bidders as distributions over hierarchical mechanisms. Combined w...

Routing multi-class traffic flows in the plane
We study a class of multi-commodity flow problems in geometric domains: For a given planar domain P populated with obstacles (holes) of K ≥ 2 types, compute a set of thick path...

The Leakage-Resilience Limit of a Computational Problem Is Equal to Its Unpredictability Entropy
A cryptographic assumption is the (unproven) mathematical statement that a certain computational problem (e.g. factoring integers) is computationally hard. The leakage-resilience l...

New Tools for Graph Coloring
How to color 3 colorable graphs with few colors is a problem of longstanding interest. The best polynomial-time algorithm uses n0.2072 colors. There are no indications that colori...

Segmented nestedness in binary data
A binary matrix is fully nested if its columns form a chain of subsets; that is, any two columns are ordered by the subset relation, where we view each column as a subset of the r...

Optimal channel assignment and power allocation for dual-hop multi-channel multi-user relaying
Abstract—We consider the problem of jointly optimizing channel pairing, channel-user assignment, and power allocation in a single-relay multiple-access system. The optimization o...
