We introduce and study a family of online metric problems with long-term constraints. In these problems, an online player makes decisions $\mathbf{x}_t$ in a metric space $(X,d)$ to simultaneously minimize their hitting cost…

Many streaming algorithms provide only a high-probability relative approximation. These two relaxations, of allowing approximation and randomization, seem necessary -- for many streaming problems, both relaxations must be employed…

Given a finite set of points $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, we would like to find a small subset $S \subseteq P$ such that the convex hull of $S$ approximately contains $P$. More formally, every point in $P$ is within distance $\epsilon$ from…
