Deterministic Restrictions in Circuit Complexity
We study the complexity of computing Boolean functions using AND, OR and NOT gates. We show that a circuit of depth d with S gates can be made to output a constant by setting O(S1...

Computing Optimal Contracts in Series-Parallel Heterogeneous Combinatorial Agencies
We study an economic setting in which a principal motivates a team of strategic agents to exert costly effort toward the success of a joint project. The action taken by each agent...

A generic flow algorithm for shared filter ordering problems
We consider a fundamental flow maximization problem that arises during the evaluation of multiple overlapping queries defined on a data stream, in a heterogenous parallel environm...

Towards Solving Many-Valued MaxSAT
We define the MaxSAT problem for many-valued CNF formulas, called many-valued MaxSAT, and establish its complexity class. We then describe a basic branch and bound algorithm for ...
