True costs of cheap labor are hard to measure: edge deletion and VCG payments in graphs
We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...

Generalizing Global Constraints Based on Network Flows
Global constraints are used in constraint programming to help users specify patterns that occur frequently in the real world. In addition, global constraints facilitate the use of ...

Finding Best k Policies
Abstract. An optimal probabilistic-planning algorithm solves a problem, usually modeled by a Markov decision process, by finding its optimal policy. In this paper, we study the k ...

Greedy Approximation via Duality for Packing, Combinatorial Auctions and Routing
We study simple greedy approximation algorithms for general class of integer packing problems. We provide a novel analysis based on the duality theory of linear programming. This e...

Fast primal-dual projected linear iterations for distributed consensus in constrained convex optimization
In this paper we study the constrained consensus problem, i.e. the problem of reaching a common point from the estimates generated by multiple agents that are constrained to lie in...
