Online reputation mechanisms need honest feedback to function effectively. Self interested agents report the truth only when explicit rewards offset the cost of reporting and th...
We consider the separable nonlinear and strictly convex single-commodity network flow problem (SSCNFP). We develop a computational scheme for generating a primal feasible solution...
We present a polynomial time 3/4-approximation algorithm for the maximum asymmetric TSP with weights zero and one. As applications, we get a 5/4-approximation algorithm for the (mi...
The range minimum query problem, RMQ for short, is to preprocess a sequence of real numbers A[1 . . . n] for subsequent queries of the form: “Given indices i, j, what is the ind...
Consider a tree T and a forest F. The paper discusses the following new problems: The Forest vertex-cover problem (FVC): cover the vertices of T by a minimum number of copies of tr...
