Incentive analysis of approximately efficient allocation algorithms
We present a series of results providing evidence that the incentive problem with VCG-based mechanisms is not very severe. Our first result uses average-case analysis to show that ...

A distributed approximation algorithm for the minimum degree minimum weight spanning trees
Fischer proposes in [4] a sequential algorithm to compute a minimum weight spanning tree of maximum degree at most b + logb n in time O n4+1/ln b for any constant b > 1, where ...

Sparse Approximate Dynamic Programming for Dialog Management
Spoken dialogue management strategy optimization by means of Reinforcement Learning (RL) is now part of the state of the art. Yet, there is still a clear mismatch between the comp...

Space-efficient approximate Voronoi diagrams
Given a set S of n points in IRd , a (t, )-approximate Voronoi diagram (AVD) is a partition of space into constant complexity cells, where each cell c is associated with t represe...

A comparison of approximation techniques for variance-based sensitivity analysis of biochemical reaction systems
Background: Sensitivity analysis is an indispensable tool for the analysis of complex systems. In a recent paper, we have introduced a thermodynamically consistent variance-based ...
