Throughput is a main performance objective in communication networks. This paper considers a fundamental maximum throughput routing problem -- the all-or-nothing multicommodity flow (ANF) problem -- in arbitrary directed graphs and in the…
When a store sells items to customers, the store wishes to determine the prices of the items to maximize its profit. Intuitively, if the store sells the items with low (resp. high) prices, the customers buy more (resp. less) items, which…
We consider the online unrelated-machine load balancing problem with recourse, where the algorithm is allowed to re-assign prior jobs. We give a $(2+\epsilon)$-competitive algorithm for the problem with $O_\epsilon(\log n)$ amortized…
We consider a generalization of the unsplittable maximum two-commodity flow problem on undirected graphs where each commodity $i\in{1,2}$ can be split into a bounded number $k_i$ of equally-sized chunks that can be routed on different…
A ride sharing problem is considered where we are given a graph, whose edges are equipped with a travel cost, plus a set of objects, each associated with a transportation request given by a pair of origin and destination nodes. A vehicle…

Following [21, 23], the present work investigates a new relative entropy-regularized algorithm for solving the optimal transport on a graph problem within the randomized shortest paths formalism. More precisely, a unit flow is injected into…
In this paper we propose primal-dual algorithms for different variants of the online resource allocation problem with departures. In the basic variant, requests (items) arrive over time to a set of resources (knapsacks) and upon arrival,…
We consider the all-pairs multicommodity network flow problem on a network with capacitated edges. The usual treatment keeps track of a separate flow for each source-destination pair on each edge; we rely on a more efficient formulation in…
We propose two deep neural network-based methods for solving semi-martingale optimal transport problems. The first method is based on a relaxation/penalization of the terminal constraint, and is solved using deep neural networks. The second…
We consider a class of learning problems regularized by a structured sparsity-inducing norm defined as the sum of l_2- or l_infinity-norms over groups of variables. Whereas much effort has been put in developing fast optimization techniques…
We give an iterative algorithm for finding the maximum flow between a set of sources and sinks that lie on the boundary of a planar graph. Our algorithm uses only O(n) queries to simple data structures, achieving an O(n log n) running time…
We consider a stochastic transportation problem between two prescribed probability distributions (a source and a target) over processes with general drift dependence and with free end times. First, and in order to establish a dual…
A sequence of recent studies show that even in the simple setting of a single seller and a single buyer with additive, independent valuations over $m$ items, the revenue-maximizing mechanism is prohibitively complex. This problem has been…
Motivated by modern machine learning applications where we only have access to empirical measures constructed from finite samples, we relax the marginal constraints of the classical Schr\"odinger bridge problem by penalizing the transport…
In the node-weighted prize-collecting Steiner tree problem (NW-PCST) we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, non-negative costs $c(v)$ and penalties $\pi(v)$ for each $v \in V$. The goal is to find a tree $T$ that minimizes the total…
We develop a fast and reliable method for solving large-scale optimal transport (OT) problems at an unprecedented combination of speed and accuracy. Built on the celebrated Douglas-Rachford splitting technique, our method tackles the…
We introduce and study a class of optimization problems we coin replenishment problems with fixed turnover times: a very natural model that has received little attention in the literature. Nodes with capacity for storing a certain commodity…
