"Squeaky Wheel" Optimization
We describe a general approach to optimization which we term Squeaky Wheel" Optimization SWO. In SWO, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a solution which is then analyze...

An efficient search algorithm for partially ordered sets
Consider the problem of membership query for a given partially ordered set. We devise a greedy algorithm which can produce near-optimal search strategies. Rigorous analysis has be...

On Approximating Optimal Weighted Lobbying, and Frequency of Correctness Versus Average-Case Polynomial Time
We investigate issues regarding two hard problems related to voting, the optimal weighted lobbying problem and the winner problem for Dodgson elections. Regarding the former, Chris...
