An important research thread in algorithmic game theory studies the design of efficient truthful mechanisms that approximate the optimal social welfare. A fundamental question is whether an \alpha-approximation algorithm translates into an…
The Power-Relaxed Greedy Algorithm (PRGA) was introduced as a generalization of the so called Relaxed Greedy Algorithm, introduced by DeVore and Temlyakov, by replacing the relaxation parameter $1/m$ with $1/m^\alpha$, with the aim of…

Greedy minimum weight spanning tree packings have proven to be useful in connectivity-related problems. We study the process of greedy minimum weight base packings in general matroids and explore its applications. For general matroids, we…
The greedy algorithm adapted from Kruskal's algorithm is an efficient and folklore way to produce a $k$-spanner with girth at least $k+2$. The greedy algorithm has shown to be `existentially optimal', while it's not `universally optimal'…
A lot of recent activity in the theory of cluster algebras has been directed towards various constructions of "natural" bases in them. One of the approaches to this problem was developed several years ago by P.Sherman - A.Zelevinsky who…

Let $\Delta$ be a finite set and $G$ be a subgroup of $\operatorname{Sym}(\Delta)$. An irredundant base for $G$ is a sequence of points of $\Delta$ yielding a strictly descending chain of pointwise stabilisers, terminating with the trivial…

We consider positional numeration systems with negative real base $-\beta$, where $\beta>1$, and study the extremal representations in these systems, called here the greedy and lazy representations. We give algorithms for determination of…
For many popular graph metric sparsifiers, such as spanners, emulators, and preservers, simple and elegant greedy algorithms are known that achieve state-of-the-art or existentially optimal tradeoffs between size and quality. The goal of…
In the classic online graph balancing problem, edges arrive sequentially and must be oriented immediately upon arrival, to minimize the maximum in-degree. For adversarial arrivals, the natural greedy algorithm is $O(\log n)$-competitive,…
In this paper, we examine the structure of systems that are weighted homogeneous for several systems of weights, and how it impacts the computation of Gr\"obner bases. We present several linear algebra algorithms for computing Gr\"obner…
We analyze greedy algorithms for the Hierarchical Aggregation (HAG) problem, a strategy introduced in [Jia et al., KDD 2020] for speeding up learning on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). The idea of HAG is to identify and remove redundancies in…
We develop axiomatics of highest weight categories and quasi-hereditary algebras in order to incorporate two semi-infinite situations which are in Ringel duality with each other; the underlying posets are either upper finite or lower…
Consider a collection of weighted subsets of a ground set N. Given a query subset Q of N, how fast can one (1) find the weighted sum over all subsets of Q, and (2) sample a subset of Q proportionally to the weights? We present a tree-based…
Greedy kernel approximation algorithms are successful techniques for sparse and accurate data-based modelling and function approximation. Based on a recent idea of stabilization of such algorithms in the scalar output case, we here consider…
The random greedy algorithm for constructing a large partial Steiner-Triple-System is defined as follows. Begin with a complete graph on $n$ vertices and proceed to remove the edges of triangles one at a time, where each triangle removed is…
This paper considers the classic Online Steiner Forest problem where one is given a (weighted) graph $G$ and an arbitrary set of $k$ terminal pairs $\{\{s_1,t_1\},\ldots ,\{s_k,t_k\}\}$ that are required to be connected. The goal is to…
