Approximation algorithms and online mechanisms for item pricing
We present approximation and online algorithms for a number of problems of pricing items for sale so as to maximize seller’s revenue in an unlimited supply setting. Our first r...

Socially desirable approximations for Dodgson's voting rule
In 1876 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson suggested the intriguing voting rule that today bears his name. Although Dodgson’s rule is one of the most well-studied voting rules, it suffers...

Approximation Algorithms for Orienteering and Discounted-Reward TSP
In this paper, we give the rst constant-factor approximationalgorithmfor the rooted Orienteering problem, as well as a new problem that we call the Discounted-Reward TSP, motivate...
