A Nonmonotone Analysis with the Primal-Dual Approach: online routing of virtual circuits with unknown durations

Data Structures and Algorithms 2013-06-11 v2

Abstract

We address the question of whether the primal-dual approach for the design and analysis of online algorithms can be applied to nonmonotone problems. We provide a positive answer by presenting a primal-dual analysis to the online algorithm of Awerbuch et al.[AAPW01] for routing virtual circuits with unknown durations.
