Market equilibrium via the excess demand function
We consider the problem of computing market equilibria and show three results. (i) For exchange economies satisfying weak gross substitutability we analyze a simple discrete versi...

Confidently Cutting a Cake into Approximately Fair Pieces
We give a randomized protocol for the classic cake cutting problem that guarantees approximate proportional fairness, and with high probability uses a linear number of cuts.

Approximating connected facility location problems via random facility sampling and core detouring
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

Approximating Single Machine Scheduling with Scenarios
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effor...

Approximate Compilation of Constraints into Multivalued Decision Diagrams
We present an incremental refinement algorithm for approximate compilation of constraint satisfaction models into multivalued decision diagrams (MDDs). The algorithm uses a vertex ...
