A graph G is well-covered if every maximal independent set has the same cardinality. Let sk denote the number of independent sets of cardinality k, and define the independence pol...
Combinatorial auctions (CAs) are important mechanisms for allocating interrelated items. Unfortunately, winner determination is NP-complete unless there is special structure. We s...

We introduce and study a modi ed notion of planarity, in which two regions of a map are considered adjacent when they share any point of their boundaries not an edge, as standard...

Let G(3n, p, 3) be a random 3-colorable graph on a set of 3n vertices generated as follows. First, split the vertices arbitrarily into three equal color classes and then choose ev...
The disjoint paths problem asks, given an graph G and k + 1 pairs of terminals (s0, t0), . . . , (sk, tk), whether there are k + 1 pairwise disjoint paths P0, . . . , Pk, such tha...
