Abstract. Roughgarden and Sundararajan recently introduced an alternative measure of efficiency for cost sharing mechanisms. We study cost sharing methods for combinatorial optimiz...
The α-expansion algorithm [4] has had a significant impact in computer vision due to its generality, effectiveness, and speed. Thus far it can only minimize energies that involv...

In the context of scheduling, we study social cost efficiency for a cost-sharing problem in which the service provider's cost is determined by the makespan of the served agen...
In evaluating the performance of online algorithms for search trees, one wants to compare them to the best offline algorithm available. In this paper we lower bound the cost of an...
Abstract. Based on the recent approach of Bertsimas and Sim (2004, 2003) to robust optimization in the presence of data uncertainty, we prove an easily computable and simple bound ...
