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...

Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...

Randomly Coloring Constant Degree Graphs
We study a simple Markov chain, known as the Glauber dynamics, for generating a random k-coloring of a n-vertex graph with maximum degree . We prove that, for every > 0, the d...

Approximating Edit Distance Efficiently
Edit distance has been extensively studied for the past several years. Nevertheless, no linear-time algorithm is known to compute the edit distance between two strings, or even to...

Hardness of Approximating the Shortest Vector Problem in Lattices
Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...
