The online Dial-a-Ride problem is a fundamental online problem in a metric space, where transportation requests appear over time and may be served in any order by a single server with unit speed. Restricted to the real line, online…
We consider the open online dial-a-ride problem, where transportation requests appear online in a metric space and need to be served by a single server. The objective is to minimize the completion time until all requests have been served.…
In the open online dial-a-ride problem, a single server has to deliver transportation requests appearing over time in some metric space, subject to minimizing the completion time. We improve on the best known upper bounds on the competitive…
We study the online Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) on the line augmented with machine-learned predictions. In the classical problem, there is a stream of requests released over time along the real line. The goal is to minimize the…
In the Online-Dial-a-Ride Problem (OLDARP) a server travels through a metric space to serve requests for rides. We consider a variant where each request specifies a source, destination, release time, and revenue that is earned for serving…
In the classic Dial-a-Ride Problem, a server travels in some metric space to serve requests for rides. Each request has a source, destination, and release time. We study a variation of this problem where each request also has a revenue that…
We study online competitive algorithms for the \emph{line chasing problem} in Euclidean spaces $\reals^d$, where the input consists of an initial point $P_0$ and a sequence of lines $X_1,X_2,...,X_m$, revealed one at a time. At each step…
We study the online traveling repairperson problem on a line within the recently proposed learning-augmented framework, which provides predictions on the requests to be served via machine learning. In the original model (with no…
In the online matching on the line problem, the task is to match a set of requests $R$ online to a given set of servers $S$. The distance metric between any two points in $R\,\cup\, S$ is a line metric and the objective for the online…
We consider TSP with time windows and service time. In this problem we receive a sequence of requests for a service at nodes in a metric space and a time window for each request. The goal of the online algorithm is to maximize the number of…
The paper investigates a dial-a-ride problem focusing on the residents of large cities. These individuals have the opportunity to use a wide variety of transportation modes. Because of this, ridepooling providers have to solve the tradeoff…
The time-optimal $k$-server problem minimizes the time spent serving all requests instead of the distances traveled. We give a lower bound of $2k-1$ on the competitive ratio of any deterministic online algorithm for this problem, which…
In the Time-Windows TSP (TW-TSP) we are given requests at different locations on a network; each request is endowed with a reward and an interval of time; the goal is to find a tour that visits as much reward as possible during the…
Searching for a line on the plane with $n$ unit speed robots is a classic online problem that dates back to the 50's, and for which competitive ratio upper bounds are known for every $n\geq 1$. In this work we improve the best lower bound…
We consider the online versions of two fundamental routing problems, traveling salesman (TSP) and dial-a-ride (DARP), which have a variety of relevant applications in logistics and robotics. The online versions of these problems concern…
We consider the online traveling salesman problem on the real line (OLTSPL) in which a salesman begins at the origin, traveling at no faster than unit speed along the real line, and wants to serve a sequence of requests, arriving online…
In this paper, we consider the Online Traveling Salesperson Problem (OLTSP) where the locations of the requests are known in advance, but not their arrival times. We study both the open variant, in which the algorithm is not required to…
Cooperation between mobile robots and wireless sensor networks is a line of research that is currently attracting a lot of attention. In this context, we study the following problem of barrier coverage by stationary wireless sensors that…
The $k$-Server Problem covers plenty of resource allocation scenarios, and several variations have been studied extensively for decades. We present a model generalizing the $k$-Server Problem by preferences of the requests, where the…
We slightly improve the known lower bound on the asymptotic competitive ratio for online bin packing of rectangles. We present a complete proof for the new lower bound, whose value is above 1.91.
