N Anari, T Mai, SO Gharan, VV Vazirani - … of the Twenty-Ninth Annual ACM …, 2018 - SIAM
Abstract Recently Cole and Gkatzelis [10] gave the first constant factor approximation
algorithm for the problem of allocating indivisible items to agents, under additive valuations …

Strongly polynomial algorithm for a class of minimum-cost flow problems with separable convex objectives

LA Végh - Proceedings of the forty-fourth annual ACM symposium …, 2012 - dl.acm.org
A well-studied nonlinear extension of the minimum-cost flow problem is to minimize the
objective∑ ij∈ E Cij (fij) over feasible flows f, where on every arc ij of the network, Cij is a …

A strongly polynomial algorithm for linear exchange markets

J Garg, LA Végh - Proceedings of the 51st annual ACM SIGACT …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
We present a strongly polynomial algorithm for computing an equilibrium in Arrow-Debreu
exchange markets with linear utilities. Our algorithm is based on a variant of the weakly …

The notion of a rational convex program, and an algorithm for the Arrow-Debreu Nash bargaining game

VV Vazirani - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2012 - dl.acm.org
We introduce the notion of a rational convex program (RCP) and we classify the known
RCPs into two classes: quadratic and logarithmic. The importance of rationality is that it …

Concave generalized flows with applications to market equilibria

LA Végh - Mathematics of Operations Research, 2014 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider a nonlinear extension of the generalized network flow model, with the flow
leaving an arc being an increasing concave function of the flow entering it, as proposed by …

Earning and utility limits in Fisher markets

X Bei, J Garg, M Hoefer, K Mehlhorn - ACM Transactions on Economics …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
Earning limits and utility limits are novel aspects in the classic Fisher market model. Sellers
with earning limits have bounds on their income and lower the supply they bring to the …

Rational convex programs and efficient algorithms for 2-player Nash and nonsymmetric bargaining games

VV Vazirani - SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2012 - SIAM
The solution to a Nash or a nonsymmetric bargaining game is obtained by maximizing a
concave function over a convex set; ie, it is the solution to a convex program. We show that …

Towards polynomial simplex-like algorithms for market equilibria

J Garg, R Mehta, M Sohoni, NK Vishnoi - … of the twenty-fourth annual ACM …, 2013 - SIAM
In this paper we consider the problem of computing market equilibria in the Fisher setting for
utility models such as spending constraint and perfect, price-discrimination. These models …

Ofm: An online fisher market for cloud computing

AS Prasad, M Arumaithurai, D Koll… - IEEE INFOCOM 2019 …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Currently, cloud computing is a primary enabler of new paradigms such as edge and fog
computing. One open issue is the pricing of services or resources. Current pricing schemes …

Computing equilibria in markets with budget-additive utilities

X Bei, J Garg, M Hoefer, K Mehlhorn - arxiv preprint arxiv:1603.07210, 2016 - arxiv.org
We present the first analysis of Fisher markets with buyers that have budget-additive utility
functions. Budget-additive utilities are elementary concave functions with numerous …
