An instance of the path hitting problem consists of two families of paths, D and H, in a common undirected graph, where each path in H is associated with a non-negative cost. We r...
We present a collection of new structural, algorithmic, and complexity results for two types of matching problems. The first problem involves the computation of k-maximal matchin...

The problem of coalition formation when agents are uncertain about the types or capabilities of their potential partners is a critical one. In [3] a Bayesian reinforcement learnin...
We present a two-phase algorithm for solving large-scale quadratic programs (QPs). In the first phase, gradient-projection iterations approximately minimize an augmented Lagrangian...
In recent years, privacy preserving data mining has become an important problem because of the large amount of personal data which is tracked by many business applications. In many...
