Background Somatic mutations of the k-RAS oncogene have been assessed as a
mechanism of de-novo resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine …

In a system where noncooperative agents share a common resource, we propose the price
of anarchy, which is the ratio between the worst possible Nash equilibrium and the social …

In interval scheduling, not only the processing times of the jobs but also their starting times
are given. This article surveys the area of interval scheduling and presents proofs of results …

Once we have developed an algorithm (qv) for solving a computational problem and
analyzed its worst-case time requirements as a function of the size of its input (most usefully …

This clearly written, mathematically rigorous text includes a novel algorithmic exposition of
the simplex method and also discusses the Soviet ellipsoid algorithm for linear …

This book is an introduction, on the undergraduate level, to the classical and contemporary
theor y of computation. The topics covered are, in a few words, the theory of automata and …

How long does it take until economic agents converge to an equilibrium? By studying the
complexity of the problem of computing a mixed Nash equilibrium in a game, we provide …

In a system in which noncooperative agents share a common resource, we propose the ratio
between the worst possible Nash equilibrium and the social optimum as a measure of the …

We define a natural variant of NP, MAX NP, and also a subclass called MAX SNP. These are
classes of optimization problems, and in fact contain several natural, well-studied ones. We …

Latent semantic indexing (LX) is an information retrieval technique based on the spectral
analysis of the term-document matrix, whose empirical success had heretofort been without …
