We study single-sample prophet inequalities (SSPIs), i.e., prophet inequalities where only a single sample from each prior distribution is available. Besides a direct, and optimal, SSPI for the basic single choice problem [Rubinstein et…

Matroid interdiction problems are well-researched in the field of combinatorial optimization. In the matroid $\ell$-interdiction problem, an interdiction strategy removes a subset of cardinality $\ell$ from the matroid's ground set. The…
