Scheduling with Unexpected Machine Breakdowns
We investigate an online version of a basic scheduling problem where a set of jobs has to be scheduled on a number of identical machines so as to minimize the makespan. The job pr...

The Power of Team Exploration: Two Robots Can Learn Unlabeled Directed Graphs
We show that two cooperating robots can learn exactly any strongly-connected directed graph with n indistinguishable nodes in expected time polynomial in n. We introduce a new typ...

Existence and Construction of Edge Disjoint Paths on Expander Graphs
Given an expander graph G = (V, E) and a set of q disjoint pairs of vertices in V , we are interested in finding for each pair (ai, bi), a path connecting ai to bi, such that the ...
