We consider an off-line optimisation problem where $k$ robots must service $n$ requests on a single line. A request $i$ has weight $w_i$ and takes place at time $t_i$ at location $d_i$ on the line. A robot can service a request and collect…
In the weighted load balancing problem, the input is an $n$-vertex bipartite graph between a set of clients and a set of servers, and each client comes with some nonnegative real weight. The output is an assignment that maps each client to…
We propose a $O(\log k \log n)$-competitive randomized algorithm for online node-weighted Steiner forest. This is essentially optimal and significantly improves over the previous bound of $O(\log^2 k \log n)$ by Hajiaghayi et al. [2017]. In…

We consider the problem of online load balancing under lp-norms: sequential jobs need to be assigned to one of the machines and the goal is to minimize the lp-norm of the machine loads. This generalizes the classical problem of scheduling…
We study a weighted online bipartite matching problem: $G(V_1, V_2, E)$ is a weighted bipartite graph where $V_1$ is known beforehand and the vertices of $V_2$ arrive online. The goal is to match vertices of $V_2$ as they arrive to vertices…
We give a polynomial time reduction from vector scheduling problem (VS) to generalized load balancing problem (GLB). This reduction gives the first non-trivial online algorithm for VS where vectors come in an online fashion. The online…

We introduce a new online convex optimization algorithm that adaptively chooses its regularization function based on the loss functions observed so far. This is in contrast to previous algorithms that use a fixed regularization function…
This paper addresses Online Convex Optimization (OCO) problems where the constraints have additive perturbations that (i) vary over time and (ii) are not known at the time to make a decision. Perturbations may not be i.i.d. generated and…
