Tolls for Heterogeneous Selfish Users in Multicommodity Networks and Generalized Congestion Games
We prove the existence of tolls to induce multicommodity, heterogeneous network users that independently choose routes minimizing their own linear function of tolls versus latency...

Approximating the Stochastic Knapsack Problem: The Benefit of Adaptivity
We consider a stochastic variant of the NP-hard 0/1 knapsack problem in which item values are deterministic and item sizes are independent random variables with known, arbitrary d...

Dynamic Optimality -- Almost
We present an O(lg lg n)-competitive online binary search tree, improving upon the best previous (trivial) competitive ratio of O(lg n). This is the first major progress on Sleator...

Edge-Disjoint Paths in Planar Graphs
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs (demands) s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number ...

Universally Composable Protocols with Relaxed Set-Up Assumptions
A desirable goal for cryptographic protocols is to guarantee security when the protocol is composed with other protocol instances. Universally Composable (UC) protocols provide th...
