Barely Monotone (min,+)-Convolution in Truly Subquadratic Time

MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi, Danny Mittal, Saeed Seddighin

The (min,+)-convolution of two sequences A and B of length n is the sequence C with C[k] = min_{i+j=k} (A[i]+B[j]). For bounded inputs, whose entries are integers in {0,...,O(n)},…

The Expiration Streaming Model: Diameter, -Center, Counting, Sampling, and Friends

Lotte Blank, Sergio Cabello, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi +5

An important thread in the study of data-stream algorithms focuses on settings where stream items are active only for a limited time. We introduce a new expiration model, where eac…

Pandora with Inaccurate Priors

Kiarash Banihashem, Xiang Chen, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi +4

We investigate the role of inaccurate priors for the classical Pandora's box problem. In the classical Pandora's box problem we are given a set of boxes each with a known cost and…

Gains-from-Trade in Bilateral Trade with a Broker

Ilya Hajiaghayi, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi, Gary Peng +1

We study bilateral trade with a broker, where a buyer and seller interact exclusively through the broker. The broker strategically maximizes her payoff through arbitrage by trading…

A Dynamic Algorithm for Weighted Submodular Cover Problem

Kiarash Banihashem, Samira Goudarzi, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi +2

We initiate the study of the submodular cover problem in dynamic setting where the elements of the ground set are inserted and deleted. In the classical submodular cover problem, w…

Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree: A 1.79 Approximation

Ali Ahmadi, Iman Gholami, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi +2

Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree (PCST) is a generalization of the Steiner Tree problem, a fundamental problem in computer science. In the classic Steiner Tree problem, we aim to conn…

Replication-proof Bandit Mechanism Design with Bayesian Agents

Suho Shin, Seyed A. Esmaeili, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi

We study the problem of designing replication-proof bandit mechanisms when agents strategically register or replicate their own arms to maximize their payoff. Specifically, we cons…
