We study a truthful two-facility location problem in which a set of agents have private positions on the line of real numbers and known approval preferences over two different facilities. Given the locations of the two facilities, the cost…
The submodular maximization problem is widely applicable in many engineering problems where objectives exhibit diminishing returns. While this problem is known to be NP-hard for certain subclasses of objective functions, there is a greedy…
In the facility location problem, the task is to place one or more facilities so as to minimize the sum of the agent costs for accessing their nearest facility. Heretofore, in the strategic version, agent locations have been assumed to be…
Actuator placement is an active field of research which has received significant attention for its applications in complex dynamical networks. In this paper, we study the problem of finding a set of actuator placements minimizing the metric…
We propose a new scalable algorithm for facility location. Facility location is a classic problem, where the goal is to select a subset of facilities to open, from a set of candidate facilities F , in order to serve a set of clients C. The…
This paper addresses resource allocation problem with a separable objective function under a single linear constraint, formulated as maximizing $\sum_{j=1}^{n}R_j(x_j)$ subject to $\sum_{j=1}^{n}x_j=k$ and $x_j\in\{0,\dots,m\}$. While…
In the online facility assignment problem OFA(k,\ell), there exist k servers with a capacity \ell \geq 1 on a metric space and a request arrives one-by-one. The task of an online algorithm is to irrevocably match a current request with one…
In this paper we study the facility leasing problem with penalties. We present a primal-dual algorithm which is a 3-approximation, based on the algorithm by Nagarajan and Williamson for the facility leasing problem and on the algorithm by…
In a standard NP-complete optimization problem we introduce an interpolating algorithm between the quick decrease along the gradient (greedy dynamics) and a slow decrease close to the level curves (reluctant dynamics). We find that for a…
This paper provides a systematic study of several proposed measures for online algorithms in the context of a specific problem, namely, the two server problem on three colinear points. Even though the problem is simple, it encapsulates a…
We study the classic \textsc{(Uncapacitated) Facility Location} problem on Unit Disk Graphs (UDGs). For a given point set $P$ in the plane, the unit disk graph UDG(P) on $P$ has vertex set $P$ and an edge between two distinct points $p, q…
The maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference for determinantal point processes (DPPs) is crucial for selecting diverse items in many machine learning applications. Although DPP MAP inference is NP-hard, the greedy algorithm often finds…
The realization that selfish interests need to be accounted for in the design of algorithms has produced many contributions in computer science under the umbrella of algorithmic mechanism design. Novel algorithmic properties and paradigms…
Finding a maximum-weight matching is a classical and well-studied problem in computer science, solvable in cubic time in general graphs. We consider the specialization called assignment problem where the input is a bipartite graph, and…
Facility location problems (FLPs) are a family of optimisation problems with significant social impact. This class of problems has been the subject of study since the 1960s, with classical approaches including the Weber problem and the…
The k-median problem is a well-known strongly NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem of both theoretical and practical significance. The previous best approximation ratio for this problem is 2.611+\epsilon (Bryka et al. 2014) based on…
In this paper we present linear time approximation schemes for several generalized matching problems on nonbipartite graphs. Our results include $O_\epsilon(m)$-time algorithms for $(1-\epsilon)$-maximum weight $f$-factor and…
The problem of optimally placing sensors under a cost constraint arises naturally in the design of industrial and commercial products, as well as in scientific experiments. We consider a relaxation of the full optimization formulation of…
This work studies online scheduling algorithms for buffer management, develops new algorithms, and analyzes their performances. Packets arrive at a release time r, with a non-negative weight w and an integer deadline d. At each time step,…
This paper focuses on the development of novel greedy techniques for distributed learning under sparsity constraints. Greedy techniques have widely been used in centralized systems due to their low computational requirements and at the same…
