We present a series of results providing evidence that the incentive problem with VCG-based mechanisms is not very severe. Our first result uses average-case analysis to show that ...
In this paper we propose new solution methods for designing tag sets for use in universal DNA arrays. First, we give integer linear programming formulations for two previous formal...
The edge dominating set (EDS) and edge cover (EC) problems are classical graph covering problems in which one seeks a minimum cost collection of edges which covers the edges or ve...
We describe sequential and parallel algorithms that approximately solve linear programs with no negative coefficients (a.k.a. mixed packing and covering problems). For explicitly ...
In this paper, we introduce the generalized capacitated tree-routing problem (GCTR), which is described as follows. Given a connected graph G = (V, E) with a sink s V and a set M...
