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...

We present a general framework for approximating several NP-hard problems that have two underlying properties in common. First, the problems we consider can be formulated as intege...
Smale's 17th Problem asks "Can a zero of n complex polynomial equations in n unknowns be found approximately, on the average [for a suitable probability measure on the s...
The class of variable-length finite-state joint source-channel codes is defined and a polynomial complexity algorithm for the evaluation of their distance spectrum presented. Issu...
We propose a simple distributed algorithm for balancing indivisible tokens on graphs. The algorithm is completely deterministic, though it tries to imitate (and enhance) a random ...
