An improved approximation algorithm for maximizing a DR-submodular function over a convex set

open access: yes, 2022
Maximizing a DR-submodular function subject to a general convex set is an NP-hard problem arising from many applications in combinatorial optimization and machine learning. While it is highly desirable to design efficient approximation algorithms under this general setting where neither the objective function is monotonic nor the feasible set is down ...

The Maximum Traveling Salesman Problem with Submodular Rewards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, we look at the problem of finding the tour of maximum reward on an undirected graph where the reward is a submodular function, that has a curvature of $\kappa$, of the edges in the tour. This problem is known to be NP-hard.

Marginal Reputation

open access: yesEconometrica, Volume 93, Issue 6, Page 2007-2042, November 2025.
We study reputation formation where a long‐run player repeatedly observes private signals and takes actions. Short‐run players observe the long‐run player's past actions but not her past signals. The long‐run player can thus develop a reputation for playing a distribution over actions, but not necessarily for playing a particular mapping from signals ...

Existence of a non‐stationary equilibrium in search‐and‐matching models: TU and NTU

open access: yesTheoretical Economics, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 1411-1460, November 2025.
This paper proves the existence of a non‐stationary equilibrium in the canonical search‐and‐matching model with heterogeneous agents. Non‐stationarity entails that the number and characteristics of unmatched agents evolve endogenously over time.

Shape preserving properties and monotonicity properties of the sequences of Choquet type integral operators

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2018
In this paper, for the univariate Bernstein-Kantorovich-Choquet, Szasz-Kantorovich-Choquet, Baskakov-Kantorovich-Choquet and Bernstein-Durrmeyer-Choquet operators written in terms of the Choquet integrals with respect to monotone and submodular set ...

Balanced sets in an independence structure induced by a submodular function

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1983
AbstractA submodular (and non-decreasing) function on a set induces an independence structure; the notion of a “balanced” set in this situation helps us determine whether a given independence structure is induced by any submodular function other than its own rank function, answering a question of U. S. R. Murty and I. Simon.

On the Initial Set of Constraints for Graph-Based Submodular Function Maximization

open access: yesActa Cybernetica
A crucial problem in combinatorial optimization is the submodular function maximization (SFM), and in many cases it involves graphs on which the maximization is specified. The problem is well-studied and hence there are several proposed algorithms in the literature.
