We study combinatorial prediction markets where agents bet on the sum of values at any tree node in a hierarchy of events, for example the sum of page views among all the children...
The dominatingset problemin graphs asks for a minimumsize subset of vertices with the followingproperty: each vertex is required to either be in the dominating set, or adjacent to...
Abstract. We generalize a learning algorithm originally devised for deterministic all-accepting weighted tree automata (wta) to the setting of arbitrary deterministic wta. The lear...
We study the following problem. Given a weighted planar graph G, assign labels L(v) to vertices so that given L(u), L(v) and L(x) for x ∈ X for any X ⊂ V (G), compute the dist...
Approximation of the permanent of a matrix with nonnegative entries is a well studied problem. The most successful approach to date for general matrices uses Markov chains to appr...
