On the Hardness of Being Truthful
The central problem in computational mechanism design is the tension between incentive compatibility and computational ef ciency. We establish the rst significant approximability ...

Reducing truth-telling online mechanisms to online optimization
We describe a general technique for converting an online algorithm B to a truthtelling mechanism. We require that the original online competitive algorithm has certain "nicen...

Conservative swept volume boundary approximation
We present a novel technique for approximating the boundary of a swept volume. The generator given by an input triangle mesh is rendered under all rigid transformations of a discr...

A boundary delimitation algorithm to approximate cell soma volumes of bipolar cells from topographical data obtained by scanning
Background: Cell volume determination plays a pivotal role in the investigation of the biophysical mechanisms underlying various cellular processes. Whereas light microscopy in pr...
