We consider scheduling problems in which a job consists of components of different types to be processed on m machines. Each machine is capable of processing components of a singl...
We study the mechanism design problem of scheduling unrelated machines and we completely characterize the decisive truthful mechanisms for two players when the domain contains bot...

The objective of this paper is to characterize classes of problems for which a greedy algorithm finds solutions provably close to optimum. To that end, we introduce the notion of k...
Abstract. In recent years, probabilistic analyses of algorithms have received increasing attention. Despite results on the average-case complexity and smoothed complexity of exact ...
The subject of this paper is the formulation and solution of a variation of the classical binary knapsack problem. The variation that is addressed is termed the ``fixed-charge kna...
