We examine the precision with which the cumulative score from a suite of test cases ranks participants in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI). Our concern is the abilit...
We study a novel "coverage by directional sensors" problem with tunable orientations on a set of discrete targets. We propose a Maximum Coverage with Minimum Sensors (MCM...

In Combinatorial Public Projects, there is a set of projects that may be undertaken, and a set of selfinterested players with a stake in the set of projects chosen. A public plann...
Suppose x and y are unit 2-norm n-vectors whose components sum to zero. Let P(x, y) be the polygon obtained by connecting (x1, y1), . . . , (xn, yn), (x1, y1) in order. We say that...
