On the K-simple shortest paths problem in weighted directed graphs
We obtain the first approximation algorithm for finding the k-simple shortest paths connecting a pair of vertices in a weighted directed graph. Our algorithm is deterministic an...

Branching proofs of infeasibility in low density subset sum problems
We prove that the subset sum problem ax = x {0, 1}n (SUB) has a polynomial time computable certificate of infeasibility for all a with density at most 1/(2n), and for almost all ...

Average-Case Competitive Analyses for Ski-Rental Problems
Let s be the ratio of the cost for purchasing skis over the cost for renting them. Then the famous result for the ski-rental problem shows that skiers should buy their skis after r...

Computational Rationalization: The Inverse Equilibrium Problem
Modeling the behavior of imperfect agents from a small number of observations is a difficult, but important task. In the singleagent decision-theoretic setting, inverse optimal co...

On Variants of the Matroid Secretary Problem
We present a number of positive and negative results for variants of the matroid secretary problem. Most notably, we design a constant-factor competitive algorithm for the “rando...
