Playing games with approximation algorithms
In an online linear optimization problem, on each period t, an online algorithm chooses st S from a fixed (possibly infinite) set S of feasible decisions. Nature (who may be adve...

Nearly Tight Bounds for the Continuum-Armed Bandit Problem
In the multi-armed bandit problem, an online algorithm must choose from a set of strategies in a sequence of n trials so as to minimize the total cost of the chosen strategies. Wh...

Online Function Tracking with Generalized Penalties
We attend to the classic setting where an observer needs to inform a tracker about an arbitrary time varying function f : N0 → Z. This is an optimization problem, where both wron...
