چکیده
In a game (N, 〈Si〉, 〈ui〉) players are interested in maximizing ui. In this section we consider games where players incur costs, and hence their goal is to minimize costs. These games are represented as (N, 〈Si〉, 〈ci〉) where ci is the cost function of player i. Recall that we defined a potential function to prove that a load balancing game had a pure Nash equilibrium. In this section we define a potential game as follows.

A significant fraction of streaming literature is on the problem of estimating frequency moments. Let σ = a1, a2, . . . , am be a stream of numbers where for each i, ai is an intger between 1 and n. We will try to stick to the notation of using m for the length of the stream and n for range of the integers1. Let fi be the number of occurences (or frequency) of integer i in the stream. We let f ...

Many discrete optimization problems are naturally modeled as an integer (linear) programming (ILP) problem. An ILP problem is of the form max cx Ax ≤ b x is an integer vector. (1) It is easy to show that ILP is NP-hard via a reduction from say SAT. The decision version of ILP is the following: Given rational matrix A and rational vector b, does Ax ≤ b have an integral solution x? Theorem 1 Deci...

Proof: We have already seen the easy direction that for any U , ν(G) ≤ |V | 2 − o(G−U)−|U | 2 by noticing that o(G− U)− |U | is the number of nodes from the odd components in G− U that must remain unmatched. Therefore, it is sufficient to show that ν(G) = |V | 2 − maxU⊆V o(G−U)−|U | 2 . Any reference to left-hand side (LHS) or right-hand side (RHS) will be in reference to this inequality. Proof...

We saw the definition of base, circuit, rank, span and flat of matroids last lecture. We begin this lecture by studying some more basic properties of a matroid. Exercise 1 Show that a set I ⊆ S is independent in a matroid M iff ∀y ∈ I, there exists a flat F such that I − y ⊆ F and y ∈ F. Exercise 3 Verify that (S, I *) is indeed a matroid. Remark 4 Having an independence or rank oracle for M im...
