In this paper, we initiate the study of the weighted paging problem with predictions. This continues the recent line of work in online algorithms with predictions, particularly that of Lykouris and Vassilvitski (ICML 2018) and Rohatgi (SODA…

We study deterministic online algorithms for the problem of chasing sets of cardinality at most $k$ in a metric space, also known as metrical service systems and equivalent to width-$k$ layered graph traversal. We resolve the 30-year-old…

We study the discrete bin covering problem where a multiset of items from a fixed set $S \subseteq (0,1]$ must be split into disjoint subsets while maximizing the number of subsets whose contents sum to at least $1$. We study the online…

We introduce the problem of ranking with slot constraints, which can be used to model a wide range of application problems -- from college admission with limited slots for different majors, to composing a stratified cohort of eligible…

We revisit the online Unit Clustering and Unit Covering problems in higher dimensions: Given a set of $n$ points in a metric space, that arrive one by one, Unit Clustering asks to partition the points into the minimum number of clusters…

The problem of identifying a planted assignment given a random $k$-SAT formula consistent with the assignment exhibits a large algorithmic gap: while the planted solution becomes unique and can be identified given a formula with $O(n\log…

We investigate deterministic non-preemptive online scheduling with delayed commitment for total completion time minimization on parallel identical machines. In this problem, jobs arrive one-by-one and their processing times are revealed…

This paper considers a variant of the online paging problem, where the online algorithm has access to multiple predictors, each producing a sequence of predictions for the page arrival times. The predictors may have occasional prediction…

The high proportions of demand charges in electric bills motivate large-power customers to leverage energy storage for reducing the peak procurement from the outer grid. Given limited energy storage, we expect to maximize the peak-demand…

Although many authors have considered how many ternary comparisons it takes to sort a multiset $S$ of size $n$, the best known upper and lower bounds still differ by a term linear in $n$. In this paper we restrict our attention to online…

The online bisection problem requires maintaining a dynamic partition of $n$ nodes into two equal-sized clusters. Requests arrive sequentially as node pairs. If the nodes lie in different clusters, the algorithm pays unit cost. After each…

In an $\alpha$-way set-associative cache, the cache is partitioned into disjoint sets of size $\alpha$, and each item can only be cached in one set, typically selected via a hash function. Set-associative caches are widely used and have…

Caches exploit temporal and spatial locality to allow a small memory to provide fast access to data stored in large, slow memory. The temporal aspect of locality is extremely well studied and understood, but the spatial aspect much less so.…
