We consider a problem known as the restricted assignment version of the max-min allocation problem with indivisible goods. There are n items of various nonnegative values and m pl...
We consider the problem of embedding a metric into low-dimensional Euclidean space. The classical theorems of Bourgain, and of Johnson and Lindenstrauss say that any metric on n p...
Greedy Routing is a class of routing algorithms in which the packets are forwarded in a manner that reduces the distance to the destination at every step. In an attempt to provide...
This paper studies an extension of the k-median problem where we are given a metric space (V, d) and not just one but m client sets {Si V }m i=1, and the goal is to open k facili...

In this paper, we study an online make-to-order variant of the classical joint replenishment problem (JRP) that has been studied extensively over the years and plays a fundamental...
It is known that the dynamics of best response in an environment of non-cooperative users may converge to a good solution when users play sequentially, but may cycle far away from...
A travel booking office has timetables giving arrival and departure times for all scheduled trains, including their origins and destinations. A customer presents a starting city a...
New tight bounds are presented on the minimum length of planar straight line graphs connecting n given points in the plane and having convex faces. Specifically, we show that the ...
