In the online sorting problem, we have an array $A$ of $n$ cells, and receive a stream of $n$ items $x_1,\dots,x_n\in [0,1]$. When an item arrives, we need to immediately and irrevocably place it into an empty cell. The goal is to minimize…

We consider the online carpooling problem: given $n$ vertices, a sequence of edges arrive over time. When an edge $e_t = (u_t, v_t)$ arrives at time step $t$, the algorithm must orient the edge either as $v_t \rightarrow u_t$ or $u_t…
