We study a generative model in which hidden causes combine competitively to produce observations. Multiple active causes combine to determine the value of an observed variable thr...
Subthreshold-seeking behavior occurs when the majority of the points that an algorithm samples have an evaluation less than some target threshold. We characterize sets of functions...
We study the problem of allocating a set of indivisible items to players having additive utility functions over the items. We consider allocations in which no player envies the bun...

A counting Bloom filter (CBF) generalizes a Bloom filter data structure so as to allow membership queries on a set that can be changing dynamically via insertions and deletions. As...

We present and analyze simple distributed contention resolution protocols for wireless networks. In our setting, one is given n pairs of senders and receivers located in a metric ...
