We investigate the design of algorithms resilient to memory faults, i.e., algorithms that, despite the corruption of some memory values during their execution, are able to produce...
Recently a bulk of research [14, 5, 15, 9] has been done on the modelling of the smallworld phenomenon, which has been shown to be pervasive in social and nature networks, and eng...
We consider collusion in multi-unit auctions where the allocation and payments are determined using the VCG mechanism. We show how collusion can increase the utility of the collud...
This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
good solutions to complex problems. In many examples, individuals trying to solve superior global solution. This suggests that there may be general principles of information aggre...
