We construct noninteractive statistical zero-knowledge (NISZK) proof systems for a variety of standard approximation problems on lattices, such as the shortest independent vectors...
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
The monopolist’s theory of optimal single-item auctions for agents with independent private values can be summarized by two statements. The first is from Myerson [8]: the optim...
