The priority model was introduced to capture "greedy-like" algorithms. Motivated by the success of advice complexity in the area of online algorithms, the fixed priority model was extended to include advice, and a reduction-based framework…
In this paper, we introduce online knapsack problems with a resource buffer. In the problems, we are given a knapsack with capacity $1$, a buffer with capacity $R\ge 1$, and items that arrive one by one. Each arriving item has to be taken…
We consider the following fundamental routing problem. An adversary inputs packets arbitrarily at sources, each packet with an arbitrary destination. Traffic is constrained by link capacities and buffer sizes, and packets may be dropped at…
Learning-augmented algorithms have been extensively studied across the computer science community in the recent years, driven by advances in machine learning predictors, which can provide additional information to augment classical…
We consider several extensions of the fractional bin packing problem, a relaxation of the traditional bin packing problem where the objects may be split across multiple bins. In these extensions, we introduce load-balancing constraints…
In the $d$-dimensional hypercube bin packing problem, a given list of $d$-dimensional hypercubes must be packed into the smallest number of hypercube bins. Epstein and van Stee [SIAM J. Comput. 35 (2005)] showed that the asymptotic…
In the online simple knapsack problem items are presented in an iterative fashion and an algorithm has to decide for each item whether to reject or permanently include it into the knapsack without any knowledge about the rest of the…
We study a wholesale supply chain ordering problem. In this problem, the supplier has an initial stock, and faces an unpredictable stream of incoming orders, making real-time decisions on whether to accept or reject each order. What makes…
The fractional knapsack problem is one of the classical problems in combinatorial optimization, which is well understood in the offline setting. However, the corresponding online setting has been handled only briefly in the theoretical…
In the Dynamic Bin Packing problem, $n$ items arrive and depart the system in an online manner, and the goal is to maintain a good packing throughout. We consider the objective of minimizing the total active time, i.e., the sum of the…
The Two-dimensional Bin Packing Problem calls for packing a set of rectangular items into a minimal set of larger rectangular bins. Items must be packed with their edges parallel to the borders of the bins, cannot be rotated and cannot…
The paper investigates a version of the resource allocation problem arising in the wireless networking, namely in the OVSF code reallocation process. In this setting a complete binary tree of a given height $n$ is considered, together with…
The problem of online buffer sharing is expressed as follows. A switch with $n$ output ports receives a stream of incoming packets. When an incoming packet is accepted by the switch, it is stored in a shared buffer of capacity $B$ common to…
The online bisection problem is a natural dynamic variant of the classic optimization problem, where one has to dynamically maintain a partition of $n$ elements into two clusters of cardinality $n/2$. During runtime, an online algorithm is…
We consider a generalization of the standard cache problem called file-bundle caching, where different queries (tasks), each containing $l\ge 1$ files, sequentially arrive. An online algorithm that does not know the sequence of queries…
Online bidding is a classical problem in online decision-making, with applications in resource allocation, hierarchical clustering, and the analysis of approximation algorithms. We study its randomized learning-augmented variant, where an…
In the online hypergraph matching problem, hyperedges of size $k$ over a common ground set arrive online in adversarial order. The goal is to obtain a maximum matching (disjoint set of hyperedges). A na\"ive greedy algorithm for this…
Online matching and its variants are some of the most fundamental problems in the online algorithms literature. In this paper, we study the online weighted bipartite matching problem. Karp et al. (STOC 1990) gave an elegant algorithm in the…
We are given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, and a sequence of axis-aligned squares that arrive in an online fashion. The online hitting set problem consists of maintaining, by adding new points if necessary, a set $H\subseteq P$ that…
We consider the Online Rent Minimization problem, where online jobs with release times, deadlines, and processing times must be scheduled on machines that can be rented for a fixed length period of $T$. The objective is to minimize the…
