We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...
Abstract--The generalized nested dissection method, developed by Lipton, Rose, and Tarjan, is a seminal method for solving a linear system Ax = b where A is a symmetric positive de...
Generalized Second Price Auction, also knows as Ad Word auctions, and its variants has been the main mechanism used by search companies to auction positions for sponsored search l...
: We give a simple proof of the OSSS inequality (O'Donnell, Saks, Schramm, Servedio, FOCS 2005). The inequality states that for any decision tree T calculating a Boolean funct...
We study the problem of testing isomorphism (equivalence up to relabelling of the variables) of two Boolean functions f, g : {0, 1}n → {0, 1}. Our main focus is on the most stud...
