Does DQN Learn?” (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.13617) by Aditya Gopalan () and Gugan Thoppe () has been accepted to the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. In practice, DQN often fails to identify good policies—this work provides a rigorous explanation for why.

Paper titled “Compatibility of Fairness and Nash Welfare under Subadditive Valuations’’ by Siddharth Barman and Mashbat Suzuki has been accepted for publication at SODA 2026:

We establish a compatibility between fairness and efficiency, captured via Nash Social Welfare (NSW), under the broad class of subadditive valuations. We prove that, for subadditive valuations, there always exists a partial allocation that is envy-free up to the removal of any good (EFx) and has NSW...

Joint work of Siddharth Barman and Paritosh Verma on “Fair Division Beyond Monotone Valuations” has been accepted at SODA 2026:

This paper studies fair division of divisible and indivisible items among agents whose cardinal preferences are not necessarily monotone. We establish the existence of fair divisions and develop approximation algorithms to compute them. We address two complementary valuation classes, subadditive and...

Joint work of Siddharth Barman, Vishwa Prakash HV, Aditi Sethia, and Mashbat Suzuki on “Fair and Efficient Allocation of Indivisible Mixed Manna” has been accepted at WINE 2025:

We study fair division of indivisible mixed manna (items whose values may be positive, negative, or zero) among agents with additive valuations. Here, we establish that fairness -- in terms of a relaxation of envy-freeness -- and Pareto efficiency can always be achieved together. Specifically, our f...
