Combinatorial auctions, that is, auctions where bidders can bid on combinations of items, tend to lead to more efficient allocations than traditional auction mechanisms in multi-i...
The classical direct product theorem for circuits says that if a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} is somewhat hard to compute on average by small circuits, then the correspo...

Algorithms for determining quality/cost/price tradeoffs in saturated markets are consid-3 ered. A product is modeled by d real-valued qualities whose sum determines the unit cost ...

We study the communication complexity of the set disjointness problem in the general multi-party model. For t players, each holding a subset of a universe of size n, we establish ...
A packet scheduler in a quality-of-service QoS network should be sophisticated enough to support stringent QoS constraints at high loads, but it must also have a simple implemen...
