Orienteering is the following optimization problem: given an edge-weighted graph (directed or undirected), two nodes s, t and a time limit T, find an s-t walk of total length at ...
We obtain a characterization of feasible, Bayesian, multi-item multi-bidder mechanisms with independent, additive bidders as distributions over hierarchical mechanisms. Combined w...

We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...
In this paper we analyze O’Hara’s partition bijection. We present three type of results. First, we show that O’Hara’s bijection can be viewed geometrically as a certain sci...
We address power minimization of earliest deadline first and ratemonotonic schedules by voltage and frequency scaling. We prove that the problems are NP-hard, and present (1+ ) f...
