We study the problem of vertex-weighted online bipartite matching with stochastic rewards where matches may fail with some known probability and the decision maker has to adapt to the sequential realization of these outcomes. Recent works…
We study stationary online bipartite matching, where both types of nodes--offline and online--arrive according to Poisson processes. Offline nodes wait to be matched for some random time, determined by an exponential distribution, while…
In the stochastic weighted matching problem, the goal is to find a large-weight matching of a graph when we are uncertain about the existence of its edges. In particular, each edge $e$ has a known weight $w_e$ but is realized independently…
We study the polynomial-time approximability of the optimal online stochastic bipartite matching algorithm, initiated by Papadimitriou et al. (EC'21). Here, nodes on one side of the graph are given upfront, while at each time $t$, an online…
In $k$-hypergraph matching, we are given a collection of sets of size at most $k$, each with an associated weight, and we seek a maximum-weight subcollection whose sets are pairwise disjoint. More generally, in $k$-hypergraph $b$-matching,…
Since Tinhofer proposed the MinGreedy algorithm for maximum cardinality matching in 1984, several experimental studies found the randomized algorithm to perform excellently for various classes of random graphs and benchmark instances. In…
Motivated by sequential budgeted allocation problems, we investigate online matching problems where connections between vertices are not i.i.d., but they have fixed degree distributions -- the so-called configuration model. We estimate the…
We study \emph{parallel} online algorithms: For some fixed integer $k$, a collective of $k$ parallel processes that perform online decisions on the same sequence of events forms a $k$-\emph{copy algorithm}. For any given time and input…
In this study, we investigated several online and semi-online scheduling problems on two hierarchical machines with a common due date to maximize the total early work. For the pure online case, we designed an optimal online algorithm with a…
Our work introduces the effect of supply/demand imbalances into the literature on online matching with stochastic rewards in bipartite graphs. We provide a parameterized definition that characterizes instances as over- or undersupplied (or…
We study the dominating set problem in an online setting. An algorithm is required to guarantee competitiveness against an adversary that reveals the input graph one node at a time. When a node is revealed, the algorithm learns about the…
We consider Bayesian online selection problem of a matching in bipartite graphs, i.e., online weighted matching problem with edge arrivals where online algorithm knows distributions of weights, that corresponds to the intersection of two…
For two matroids $\mathcal{M}_1$ and $\mathcal{M}_2$ defined on the same ground set $E$, the online matroid intersection problem is to design an algorithm that constructs a large common independent set in an online fashion. The algorithm is…
We study the greedy-based online algorithm for edge-weighted matching with (one-sided) vertex arrivals in bipartite graphs, and edge arrivals in general graphs. This algorithm was first studied more than a decade ago by Korula and P\'al for…
We propose two one-pass streaming algorithms for the $\mathcal{NP}$-hard hypergraph matching problem. The first algorithm stores a small subset of potential matching edges in a stack using dual variables to select edges. It has an…
We study two canonical online optimization problems under capacity/budget constraints: the fractional one-way trading problem (OTP) and the integral online knapsack problem (OKP) under an infinitesimal assumption. Under the competitive…
We study distributed algorithms that find a maximal matching in an anonymous, edge-coloured graph. If the edges are properly coloured with $k$ colours, there is a trivial greedy algorithm that finds a maximal matching in $k-1$ synchronous…
The online unit clustering problem was proposed by Chan and Zarrabi-Zadeh (WAOA2007 and Theory of Computing Systems 45(3), 2009), which is defined as follows: "Points" are given online in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space one by one. An…
We study the classic online bipartite matching problem with a twist: offline vertices, called resources, are $\textit{reusable}$. In particular, when a resource is matched to an online vertex it is unavailable for a deterministic time…
We consider a variant of the online buffer management problem in network switches, called the $k$-frame throughput maximization problem ($k$-FTM). This problem models the situation where a large frame is fragmented into $k$ packets and…
