Scheduling Jobs with Multiple Operational Modes and Tail Times
Bo Chen, Jelmer Pier van der Gaast, Xiandong Zhang
This study explores a scheduling challenge inspired by the production of programmable materials, such as advanced liquid crystal displays. In these systems, the final quality of a…
Randomized Strategyproof Mechanisms with Best of Both Worlds Fairness and Efficiency
Ankang Sun, Bo Chen
We study the problem of mechanism design for allocating a set of indivisible items among agents with private preferences on items. We are interested in such a mechanism that is str…
Operational Research: Methods and Applications
Fotios Petropoulos, Gilbert Laporte, Emel Aktas +79
Throughout its history, Operational Research has evolved to include a variety of methods, models and algorithms that have been applied to a diverse and wide range of contexts. This…
Fairness Criteria for Allocating Indivisible Chores: Connections and Efficiencies
Ankang Sun, Bo Chen, Xuan Vinh Doan
We study several fairness notions in allocating indivisible chores (i.e., items with non-positive values) to agents who have additive and submodular cost functions. The fairness cr…
Optimizing Voting Order on Sequential Juries: A Median Voter Theorem and Beyond
Steve Alpern, Bo Chen
We consider an odd-sized "jury", which votes sequentially between two states of Nature (say A and B, or Innocent and Guilty) with the majority opinion determining the verdict. Juro…
A Functional Equation of Tail-balance for Continuous Signals in the Condorcet Jury Theorem
Steve Alpern, Bo Chen, Adam J. Ostaszewski
Consider an odd-sized jury, which determines a majority verdict between two equiprobable states of Nature. If each juror independently receives a binary signal identifying the corr…
