Paging is a prototypical problem in the area of online algorithms. It has also played a central role in the development of learning-augmented algorithms -- a recent line of research that aims to ameliorate the shortcomings of classical…

For the online transportation problem with $m$ server sites, it has long been known that the competitive ratio of any deterministic algorithm is at least $2m-1$. Kalyanasundaram and Pruhs conjectured in 1998 that a deterministic…
