Strategyproof cost-sharing mechanisms for set cover and facility location games
Strategyproof cost-sharing mechanisms, lying in the core, that recover 1/a fraction of the cost, are presented for the set cover and facility location games: a=O(log n) for the fo...

Bounds on the distribution of the number of gaps when circles and lines are covered by fragments: Theory and practical applicati
Background: The question of how a circle or line segment becomes covered when random arcs are marked off has arisen repeatedly in bioinformatics. The number of uncovered gaps is o...

Covering symmetric semi-monotone functions
We define a new set of functions called semi-monotone, a subclass of skew-supermodular functions. We show that the problem of augmenting a given graph to cover a symmetric semi-mo...

Frugality ratios and improved truthful mechanisms for vertex cover
In set-system auctions, there are several overlapping teams of agents, and a task that can be completed by any of these teams. The auctioneer's goal is to hire a team and pay...

On the computational complexity of partial covers of Theta graphs
By use of elementary geometric arguments we prove the existence of a special integral solution of a certain system of linear equations. The existence of such a solution yields the...
