On the expected payment of mechanisms for task allocation
We study a representative task allocation problem called shortest paths: Let G be a graph in which the edges are owned by self interested agents. The cost of each edge is privatel...

Average-Case Analysis of Greedy Packet Scheduling
We study the average number of delays suffered by packets routed using greedy (work conserving) scheduling policies. We obtain tight bounds on the worst-case average number of del...

A Robust and Fast Algorithm for Computing Exact and Approximate Shortest Visiting Routes
Abstract. Given a simple n-sided polygon in the plane with a boundary partitioned into subchains some of which are convex and colored, we consider the following problem: Which is t...

On Geometric Dilation and Halving Chords
Let G be an embedded planar graph whose edges may be curves. The detour between two points, p and q (on edges or vertices) of G, is the ratio between the shortest path in G between...

An On-Line Algorithm for Improving Performance in Navigation
We consider the following scenario. A point robot is placed at some start location ¡ in a 2dimensional scene containing oriented rectangular obstacles. The robot must repeatedly ...
