We consider the following distributed optimization problem: three agents i = 1, 2, 3 are each presented with a load drawn independently from the same known prior distribution. Then...
How should a seller price his goods in a market where each buyer prefers a single good among his desired goods, and will buy the cheapest such good, as long as it is within his bud...
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...
