We investigate issues regarding two hard problems related to voting, the optimal weighted lobbying problem and the winner problem for Dodgson elections. Regarding the former, Chris...
We propose a general dual-fitting technique for analyzing online scheduling algorithms in the unrelated machines setting where the objective function involves weighted flow-time...
The matrix rank minimization problem has applications in many fields such as system identification, optimal control, low-dimensional embedding etc. As this problem is NP-hard in ...
"This course will consist of a number of major sections. The first will be a short review of some preliminary material, including asymptotics, summations, and recurrences and ...
This paper relates the notion of fairness in online routing and load balancing to vector majorization as developed by Hardy, Littlewood, and Polya 9]. We de ne -supermajorization ...
