We give efficient algorithms to sample uniformly, and count approximately, the solutions to a zero-one knapsack problem. The algorithm is based on using dynamic programming to pro...
Abstract. Commercial games have various methods of game balancing, which modify the game’s entertainment value for players of different skill levels. This paper presents a way o...

Abstract. Traditional approaches to multipath routing ignore the economic incentives necessary in aligning both networks and users towards a common goal. While theory suggests cong...
Abstract. Variables make rule-based systems more abstract and expressive, as witnessed by term rewriting systems and two-level grammars. In this paper we show that variables can be...
We initiate the study of mechanisms with verification for one-parameter agents. We give an algorithmic characterization of such mechanisms and show that they are provably better ...
