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 study online secretary problems with returns in combinatorial packing domains with $n$ candidates that arrive sequentially over time in random order. The goal is to accept a feasible packing of candidates of maximum total value. In the…
This paper studies an online selection problem, where a seller seeks to sequentially sell multiple copies of an item to arriving buyers. We consider an adversarial setting, making no modeling assumptions about buyers' valuations for the…
We analyze a wireless line network employing wireless network coding. The two end nodes exchange their packets through relays. While a packet at a relay might not find its coding pair upon arrival, a transmission cost can be reduced by…
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…
The minimum degree algorithm is one of the most widely-used heuristics for reducing the cost of solving large sparse systems of linear equations. It has been studied for nearly half a century and has a rich history of bridging techniques…
We give the first almost-linear total time algorithm for deciding if a flow of cost at most $F$ still exists in a directed graph, with edge costs and capacities, undergoing decremental updates, i.e., edge deletions, capacity decreases, and…
In the Online Machine Covering problem jobs, defined by their sizes, arrive one by one and have to be assigned to $m$ parallel and identical machines, with the goal of maximizing the load of the least-loaded machine. In this work, we study…
We consider the setting of online computation with advice, and study the bin packing problem and a number of scheduling problems. We show that it is possible, for any of these problems, to arbitrarily approach a competitive ratio of $1$…
We investigate online maximum cardinality matching, a central problem in ad allocation. In this problem, users are revealed sequentially, and each new user can be paired with any previously unmatched campaign that it is compatible with.…
In the online hypergraph matching problem, hyperedges of size $k$ over a common ground set arrive online in adversarial order. The goal is to obtain a maximum matching (disjoint set of hyperedges). A na\"ive greedy algorithm for this…
We study the online constrained ranking problem motivated by an application to web-traffic shaping: an online stream of sessions arrive in which, within each session, we are asked to rank items. The challenge involves optimizing the ranking…
In this paper, we consider the online vertex-weighted bipartite matching problem in the random arrival model. We consider the generalization of the RANKING algorithm for this problem introduced by Huang, Tang, Wu, and Zhang (TALG 2019), who…
We consider deterministic distributed algorithms for reaching agreement in synchronous networks of arbitrary topologies. Links are bi-directional and prone to failures while nodes stay non-faulty at all times. A faulty link may omit…
Resource allocation in distributed and networked systems such as the Cloud is becoming increasingly flexible, allowing these systems to dynamically adjust toward the workloads they serve, in a demand-aware manner. Online balanced…

We revisit the online Unit Covering problem in higher dimensions: Given a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, that arrive one by one, cover the points by balls of unit radius, so as to minimize the number of balls used. In this paper, we…
We study a variation of the canonical online resource allocation problem in which resources are throughput, rather than budget, constrained. As in the classical setting, the decision-maker must assign sequentially arriving jobs to one of…
