In the online disjoint set covers problem, the edges of a hypergraph are revealed online, and the goal is to partition them into a maximum number of disjoint set covers. That is, n nodes of a hypergraph are given at the beginning, and then…

Many optimization and scheduling problems can be abstracted in terms of a bipartite ``assignment graph" $G = (L \cup R, E)$, where the goal is to select exactly one edge for each right-node. For example, a right-node may correspond to a…

We consider the online bipartite matching problem on $(k,d)$-bounded graphs, where each online vertex has at most $d$ neighbors, each offline vertex has at least $k$ neighbors, and $k\geq d\geq 2$. The model of $(k,d)$-bounded graphs is…

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 consider the following online optimization problem. We are given a graph $G$ and each vertex of the graph is assigned to one of $\ell$ servers, where servers have capacity $k$ and we assume that the graph has $\ell \cdot k$ vertices.…

The online bisection problem requires maintaining a dynamic partition of $n$ nodes into two equal-sized clusters. Requests arrive sequentially as node pairs. If the nodes lie in different clusters, the algorithm pays unit cost. After each…

This paper considers online convex optimization (OCO) with stochastic constraints, which generalizes Zinkevich's OCO over a known simple fixed set by introducing multiple stochastic functional constraints that are i.i.d. generated at each…

Ordinal optimization (OO) is a widely-studied technique for optimizing discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS). It evaluates the performance of the system designs in a finite set by sampling and aims to correctly make ordinal comparison of…

We introduce an online version of the multiselection problem, in which q selection queries are requested on an unsorted array of n elements. We provide the first online algorithm that is 1-competitive with Kaligosi et al. [ICALP 2005] in…

Several well-studied online resource allocation problems can be formulated in terms of infinite, increasing sequences of positive values, in which each element is associated with a corresponding allocation value. Examples include problems…

When designing a preemptive online algorithm for the maximum matching problem, we wish to maintain a valid matching M while edges of the underlying graph are presented one after the other. When presented with an edge e, the algorithm should…

We analyze the competitive ratio and the advice complexity of the online unbounded knapsack problem. An instance is given as a sequence of n items with a size and a value each, and an algorithm has to decide how often to pack each item into…

We consider the problem of selecting $k$ seed nodes in a network to maximize the minimum probability of activation under an independent cascade beginning at these seeds. The motivation is to promote fairness by ensuring that even the least…

Online conformal prediction (OCP) seeks prediction intervals that achieve long-run $1-\alpha$ coverage for arbitrary (possibly adversarial) data streams, while remaining as informative as possible. Existing OCP methods often require manual…

Online contention resolution schemes (OCRSs) were proposed by Feldman, Svensson, and Zenklusen as a generic technique to round a fractional solution in the matroid polytope in an online fashion. It has found applications in several…

We provide a simple online $\Delta(1+o(1))$-edge-coloring algorithm for bipartite graphs of maximum degree $\Delta=\omega(\log n)$ under adversarial vertex arrivals on one side of the graph. Our algorithm slightly improves the result of…

We revisit the fully online matching model (Huang et al., J.\ ACM, 2020), an extension of the classic online matching model due to Karp, Vazirani, and Vazirani (STOC 1990), which has recently received a lot of attention (Huang et al., SODA…

We build on the work of Berg, Boyar, Favrholdt, and Larsen, who developed a complexity theory for online problems with and without predictions (IJTCS-FAW, volume 15828 of LNCS, Springer, 2025) where they define a hierarchy of complexity…

The $\ell_p$-norm objectives for correlation clustering present a fundamental trade-off between minimizing total disagreements (the $\ell_1$-norm) and ensuring fairness to individual nodes (the $\ell_\infty$-norm). Surprisingly, in the…

Correlation Clustering (CC) is a foundational problem in unsupervised learning that models binary similarity relations using labeled graphs. While classical CC has been widely studied, many real-world applications involve more nuanced…
