Submodular Maximization over Multiple Matroids via Generalized Exchange Properties
Submodular-function maximization is a central problem in combinatorial optimization, generalizing many important NP-hard problems including Max Cut in digraphs, graphs and hypergr...

A Tight Analysis of the Maximal Matching Heuristic
We study the worst-case performance of the maximal matching heuristic applied to the Minimum Vertex Cover and Minimum Maximal Matching problems, through a careful analysis of tigh...

Limits on the Social Welfare of Maximal-In-Range Auction Mechanisms
Many commonly-used auction mechanisms are "maximal-in-range". We show that any maximalin-range mechanism for n bidders and m items cannot both approximate the social wel...

Maximizing the Number of Packed Rectangles
Given a set of rectangles we are asked to pack as many of them as possible into a bigger rectangle. The rectangles packed may not overlap and may not be rotated. This problem is NP...

The IM Algorithm: A Variational Approach to Information Maximization
The maximisation of information transmission over noisy channels is a common, albeit generally computationally difficult problem. We approach the difficulty of computing the mutua...
