Let G = (V, E) be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The k-coloring problem is to assign a color (a number chosen in {1, . . . , k}) to each vertex of G so that no edge has...
This paper addresses the issue of provisioning end-to-end bandwidth guarantees across multiple Autonomous Systems (ASes). We first review a cascaded model for negotiating and est...

Ensuring truthfulness amongst self-interested agents bidding against one another in an auction can be computationally expensive when prices are determined using the Vickrey-Clarke-...
Let G = (V, E, Q) be a undirected graph, where V is the set of vertices, E is the set of edges, and Q = {Q1, . . . , Qq} is a partition of V into q subsets. We refer to Q1, . . . ...

In many practical applications, the task is to optimize a non-linear objective function over the vertices of a well-studied polytope as, e.g., the matching polytope or the travelli...
