In the online non-metric variant of the facility location problem, there is a given graph consisting of a set $F$ of facilities (each with a certain opening cost), a set $C$ of potential clients, and weighted connections between them. The…
We provide simple but surprisingly useful direct product theorems for proving lower bounds on online algorithms with a limited amount of advice about the future. As a consequence, we are able to translate decades of research on randomized…
Temporal graphs are used to abstractly model real-life networks that are inherently dynamic in nature. Given a static underlying graph $G=(V,E)$, a temporal graph on $G$ is a sequence of snapshots $G_t$, one for each time step $t\geq 1$. In…
Given an input $x$, and a search problem $F$, local computation algorithms (LCAs) implement access to specified locations of $y$ in a legal output $y \in F(x)$, using polylogarithmic time and space. Mansour et al., (2012), had previously…
Exploring unknown environments is a fundamental task in many domains, e.g., robot navigation, network security, and internet search. We initiate the study of a learning-augmented variant of the classical, notoriously hard online graph…
This paper addresses the problem of online network topology inference for expanding graphs from a stream of spatiotemporal signals. Online algorithms for dynamic graph learning are crucial in delay-sensitive applications or when changes in…
Network properties govern the rate and extent of spreading processes on networks, from simple contagions to complex cascades. Recent advances have extended the study of spreading processes from static networks to temporal networks, where…
In this paper we study local routing strategies on geometric graphs. Such strategies use geometric properties of the graph like the coordinates of the current and target nodes to route. Specifically, we study routing strategies in the…
In the problem of online unweighted interval selection, the objective is to maximize the number of non-conflicting intervals accepted by the algorithm. In the conventional online model of irrevocable decisions, there is an Omega(n) lower…
We consider a variant of the online caching problem where the items exhibit dependencies among each other: an item can reside in the cache only if all its dependent items are also in the cache. The dependency relations can form any directed…
We consider the online $k$-taxi problem, a generalization of the $k$-server problem, in which $k$ taxis serve a sequence of requests in a metric space. A request consists of two points $s$ and $t$, representing a passenger that wants to be…
Online routing in a planar embedded graph is central to a number of fields and has been studied extensively in the literature. For most planar graphs no $O(1)$-competitive online routing algorithm exists. A notable exception is the Delaunay…
This study considers online learning with general directed feedback graphs. For this problem, we present best-of-both-worlds algorithms that achieve nearly tight regret bounds for adversarial environments as well as poly-logarithmic regret…
Effective Resistance (ER) is a fundamental tool in various graph learning tasks. In this paper, we address the problem of efficiently approximating ER on a graph $\mathcal{G}=(\mathcal{V},\mathcal{E})$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges.…
In the online metric bipartite matching problem, we are given a set $S$ of server locations in a metric space. Requests arrive one at a time, and on its arrival, we need to immediately and irrevocably match it to a server at a cost which is…
In the online bipartite matching with reassignments problem, an algorithm is initially given only one side of the vertex set of a bipartite graph; the vertices on the other side are revealed to the algorithm one by one, along with its…
While a natural fit for modeling and understanding mobile networks, time-varying graphs remain poorly understood. Indeed, many of the usual concepts of static graphs have no obvious counterpart in time-varying ones. In this paper, we…

We propose a new (theoretical) computational model for the study of massive data processing with limited computational resources. Our model measures the complexity of reading the very large data sets in terms of the data size N and analyzes…
