This paper describes a general quantum lower bounding technique for the communication complexity of a function that depends on the inputs given to two parties connected via paths,...
Abstract. We introduce the notion of coordination mechanisms to improve the performance in systems with independent selfish and noncolluding agents. The quality of a coordination ...

ct The average case analysis of algorithms usually assumes independent, identical distributions for the inputs. In [?], Kenyon introduced the random-order ratio, a new average case...
Suppose a decision maker has to purchase a commodity over time with varying prices and demands. In particular, the price per unit might depend on the amount purchased and this pri...
