? We give a new recursive rounding linear programming (LP) solution to the problem of N-detect test minimzation. This is a polynomialtime solution that closely approximates the exa...
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
Let T = (V, E) be an undirected tree, in which each edge is associated with a non-negative cost, and let {s1, t1}, . . . , {sk, tk} be a collection of k distinct pairs of vertices...
Abstract. Evolution Strategies, Evolutionary Algorithms based on Gaussian mutation and deterministic selection, are today considered the best choice as far as parameter optimizatio...
: We study the design of mechanisms in combinatorial auction domains. We focus on settings where the auction is repeated, motivated by auctions for licenses or advertising space. W...
