Cost Sharing Methods for Makespan and Completion Time Scheduling
Abstract. Roughgarden and Sundararajan recently introduced an alternative measure of efficiency for cost sharing mechanisms. We study cost sharing methods for combinatorial optimiz...

On the Price of Truthfulness in Path Auctions
We study the frugality ratio of truthful mechanisms in path auctions, which measures the extent to which truthful mechanisms “overpay” compared to non-truthful mechanisms. In p...

New Constraints on Generation of Uniform Random Samples from Evolutionary Trees
In this paper, we introduce new algorithms for selecting taxon samples from large evolutionary trees, maintaining uniformity and randomness, under certain new constraints on the t...

Near-Optimal Hashing Algorithms for Approximate Nearest Neighbor in High Dimensions
We present an algorithm for the c-approximate nearest neighbor problem in a d-dimensional Euclidean space, achieving query time of O(dn1/c2 +o(1) ) and space O(dn + n1+1/c2 +o(1) ...

On the Optimality of the Dimensionality Reduction Method
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...
