We show two new direct product results in two different models of communication complexity. Our first result is in the model of one-way public-coin model. Let f ⊆ X × Y × Z ...
In this work we show how to use efficient online trading algorithms to price the current value of financial instruments, such as an option. We derive both upper and lower bounds f...
We exhibit three approximation algorithms for the allocation problem in combinatorial auctions with complement free bidders. The running time of these algorithms is polynomial in ...
Computing frequent itemsets and maximally frequent itemsets in a database are classic problems in data mining. The resource requirements of all extant algorithms for both problems...

The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...
