Permutation Betting Markets: Singleton Betting with Extra Information (2009)

Mohammad Ghodsi, Hamid Mahini, Vahab S. Mirrokni

We study permutation betting markets, introduced by Chen, Fortnow, Nikolova, and Pennock [3]. For these markets, we consider subset bettings in which each trader can bet on a subset of candidates...

The Price of Anarchy in Cooperative Network Creation Games (2009)

Demaine, Erik D., Hajiaghayi, Mohammadtaghi, Mahini, Hamid, Zadimoghaddam, Morteza

In general, the games are played on a host graph, where each node is a selfish independent agent (player) and each edge has a fixed link creation cost \alpha. Together the agents create a network (a...

The Price of Anarchy in Cooperative Network Creation Games (2009)

Demaine, Erik D., Hajiaghayi, MohammadTaghi, Mahini, Hamid, Zadimoghaddam, Morteza

We analyze the structure of equilibria and the price of anarchy in the family of network creation games considered extensively in the past few years, which attempt to unify the network design and...

Abstract Minimizing Movement (2008)

Erik D. Demaine, Mohammadtaghi Hajiaghayi, Hamid Mahini, Shayan Oveisgharan, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

We give approximation algorithms and inapproximability results for a class of movement problems. In general, these problems involve planning the coordinated motion of a large collection of objects...

Spanning trees with minimum weighted degrees (2008)

Mohammad Ghodsi, Hamid Mahini, Kian Mirjalali, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

Given a metric graph G, we are concerned with finding a spanning tree of G where the maximum weighted degree of its vertices is minimum. In a metric graph (or its spanning tree), the weighted degree...
