Internet search companies sell advertisement slots based on users’ search queries via an auction. Advertisers have to solve a complex optimization problem of how to place bids o...
Given a set of rectangles with fixed orientations, we want to find an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that contains them all with no overlap. Many simple scheduling tasks ca...
This article shows how rational analysis can be used to minimize learning cost for a general class of statistical learning problems. We discuss the factors that influence learning...
— We study the complexity of rationalizing network formation. In this problem we fix an underlying model describing how selfish parties (the vertices) produce a graph by making...
— We consider the problem of multiple mobile sensor agents tracking the position of one or more moving targets. In our formulation, each agent maintains a target estimate, and ea...
