Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

A (1-1/e)-approximation algorithm for the generalized assignment problem
We give a (1 - 1/e)-approximation algorithm for the Max-Profit Generalized Assignment Problem (Max-GAP) with fixed profits when the profit (but not necessarily the size) of every ...

Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

Minimizing Request Blocking in All-Optical Rings
— In all-optical networks that use WDM technology it is often the case that several communication requests have to be blocked, due to bandwidth and technology limitations. Minimi...

A Branch-and-Price Algorithm for the Multilevel Generalized Assignment Problem
The multilevel generalized assignment problem (MGAP) is a variation of the generalized assignment problem, in which agents can execute tasks at different efficiency levels with di...
