We present the first local approximation schemes for maximum independent set and minimum vertex cover in unit disk graphs. In the graph model we assume that each node knows its geo...
We study the mechanism design problem of scheduling unrelated machines and we completely characterize the decisive truthful mechanisms for two players when the domain contains bot...

Planning in partially observable environments remains a challenging problem, despite significant recent advances in offline approximation techniques. A few online methods have a...
We investigate the problem of monotonicity reconstruction, as defined in [3], in a parallel setting. We have oracle access to a nonnegative real-valued function f defined on domai...
We study how to find plans that maximize the expected total utility for a given MDP, a planning objective that is important for decision making in high-stakes domains. The optimal...
