A Nested Family of -total Effective Rewards for Positional Games

Endre Boros, Khaled Elbassioni, Vladimir Gurvich +1

We consider Gillette's two-person zero-sum stochastic games with perfect information. For each $k \in \ZZ_+$ we introduce an effective reward function, called -total. For $k = 0…

Absence of Structural Impact of Noble Nanoparticles on P3HT: PCBM Blends for Plasmon Enhanced Bulk-Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells Probed by Synchrotron Grazing Incidence X-Ray Diffraction

Samuele Lilliu, Mejd Alsari, Oier Bikondoa +2

The incorporation of noble metal nanoparticles, displaying localized surface plasmon resonance, in the active area of donor-acceptor bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaic device…

Coalition Structure Generation on Graphs

Talal Rahwan, Tomasz P. Michalak

Two fundamental algorithm-design paradigms are Tree Search and Dynamic Programming. The techniques used therein have been shown to complement one another when solving the complete…

Stochastic Testing Method for Transistor-Level Uncertainty Quantification Based on Generalized Polynomial Chaos

Zheng Zhang, Tarek A. El-Moselhy, Ibrahim +2

Uncertainties have become a major concern in integrated circuit design. In order to avoid the huge number of repeated simulations in conventional Monte Carlo flows, this paper pres…

Calculation of Generalized Polynomial-Chaos Basis Functions and Gauss Quadrature Rules in Hierarchical Uncertainty Quantification

Zheng Zhang, Tarek A. El-Moselhy, Ibrahim +2

Stochastic spectral methods are efficient techniques for uncertainty quantification. Recently they have shown excellent performance in the statistical analysis of integrated circui…

Efficient Uncertainty Quantification for the Periodic Steady State of Forced and Autonomous Circuits

Zheng Zhang, Tarek A. El-Moselhy, Paolo Maffezzoni +3

This brief paper proposes an uncertainty quantification method for the periodic steady-state (PSS) analysis with both Gaussian and non-Gaussian variations. Our stochastic testing f…

Stochastic Testing Simulator for Integrated Circuits and MEMS: Hierarchical and Sparse Techniques

Zheng Zhang, Xiu Yang, Giovanni Marucci +5

Process variations are a major concern in today's chip design since they can significantly degrade chip performance. To predict such degradation, existing circuit and MEMS simulato…

Towards More Practical Linear Programming-based Techniques for Algorithmic Mechanism Design

Khaled Elbassioni, Kurt Mehlhorn, Fahimeh Ramezani

R. Lavy and C. Swamy (FOCS 2005, J. ACM 2011) introduced a general method for obtaining truthful-in-expectation mechanisms from linear programming based approximation algorithms. D…

Analytical reasoning task reveals limits of social learning in networks

Iyad Rahwan, Dmytro Krasnoshtan, Azim Shariff +1

Social learning -by observing and copying others- is a highly successful cultural mechanism for adaptation, outperforming individual information acquisition and experience. Here, w…

Judgment Aggregation in Multi-Agent Argumentation

Edmond Awad, Richard Booth, Fernando Tohme +1

Given a set of conflicting arguments, there can exist multiple plausible opinions about which arguments should be accepted, rejected, or deemed undecided. We study the problem of h…

Truthful Mechanisms for Combinatorial AC Electric Power Allocation

Chi-Kin Chau, Khaled Elbassioni, Majid Khonji

Traditional studies of combinatorial auctions often only consider linear constraints (by which the demands for certain goods are limited by the corresponding supplies). The rise of…
