Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a vital problem in biology. Optimal alignment of multiple sequences becomes impractical even for a modest number of sequences [1] since the gen...
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...
Suppose we have a directed graph G with set of nodes V = {1, . . . , N} and a measure xi for every node i V . The average consensus problem consists in computing the average xA = ...
We introduce and analyze a randomized traitor tracing algorithm for broadcast security. This algorithm is very efficient compared to brute force methods (the mean time it takes is...
We demonstrate that the Linear Multidimensional Assignment Problem with iid random costs is polynomially "-approximable almost surely (a. s.) via a simple greedy heuristic, f...
