We develop a new approach for online network design and obtain improved competitive ratios for several problems. Our approach gives natural deterministic algorithms and simple analyses. At the heart of our work is a novel application of…
We study the problem of online unweighted bipartite matching with $n$ offline vertices and $n$ online vertices where one wishes to be competitive against the optimal offline algorithm. While the classic RANKING algorithm of Karp et al.…
Motivated by demand-responsive parking pricing systems, we consider posted-price algorithms for the online metric matching problem. We give an $O(\log n)$-competitive posted-price randomized algorithm in the case that the metric space is a…
We study the online bipartite matching problem, introduced by Karp, Vazirani and Vazirani [1990]. For bipartite graphs with matchings of size $n$, it is known that the Ranking randomized algorithm matches at least $(1 - \frac{1}{e})n$ edges…
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…
We study the problem of chasing convex bodies online: given a sequence of convex bodies $K_t\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ the algorithm must respond with points $x_t\in K_t$ in an online fashion (i.e., $x_t$ is chosen before $K_{t+1}$ is…
Information-centric networking extensively uses universal in-network caching. However, developing an efficient and fair collaborative caching algorithm for selfish caches is still an open question. In addition, the communication overhead…
Online matching and its variants are some of the most fundamental problems in the online algorithms literature. In this paper, we study the online weighted bipartite matching problem. Karp et al. (STOC 1990) gave an elegant algorithm in the…
The advice complexity of an online problem is a measure of how much knowledge of the future an online algorithm needs in order to achieve a certain competitive ratio. Using advice complexity, we define the first online complexity class,…
In this paper, we propose an online-matching-based model to study the assignment problems arising in a wide range of online-matching markets, including online recommendations, ride-hailing platforms, and crowdsourcing markets. It features…
We present a unified framework for designing and analyzing algorithms for online budgeted allocation problems (including online matching) and their generalization, the Online Generalized Assignment Problem (OnGAP). These problems have been…
This article presents a simplification of Zadimoghaddam's algorithm for the edge-weighted online bipartite matching problem, under the online primal dual framework. In doing so, we obtain an improved competitive ratio of $0.514$. We first…
We introduce the dueling teams problem, a new online-learning setting in which the learner observes noisy comparisons of disjoint pairs of $k$-sized teams from a universe of $n$ players. The goal of the learner is to minimize the number of…
We consider the following fundamental routing problem. An adversary inputs packets arbitrarily at sources, each packet with an arbitrary destination. Traffic is constrained by link capacities and buffer sizes, and packets may be dropped at…
In the setting of online algorithms, the input is initially not present but rather arrive one-by-one over time and after each input, the algorithm has to make a decision. Depending on the formulation of the problem, the algorithm might be…
Huang et al.~(STOC 2018) introduced the fully online matching problem, a generalization of the classic online bipartite matching problem in that it allows all vertices to arrive online and considers general graphs. They showed that the…
We study \emph{parallel} online algorithms: For some fixed integer $k$, a collective of $k$ parallel processes that perform online decisions on the same sequence of events forms a $k$-\emph{copy algorithm}. For any given time and input…
We exhibit an $O((\log k)^6)$-competitive randomized algorithm for the $k$-server problem on any metric space. It is shown that a potential-based algorithm for the fractional $k$-server problem on hierarchically separated trees (HSTs) with…
The online algorithm design was proposed to handle the caching problem when the future information is unknown. And currently, it draws more and more attentions from the researchers from the areas of microgrid, where the production of…
In this paper we present a deterministic parallel algorithm solving the multiple selection problem in congested clique model. In this problem for given set of elements S and a set of ranks $K = \{k_1 , k_2 , ..., k_r \}$ we are asking for…
