A Near-Tight Bound for the Online Steiner Tree Problem in Graphs of Bounded Asymmetry
The edge asymmetry of a directed, edge-weighted graph is defined as the maximum ratio of the weight of antiparallel edges in the graph, and can be used as a measure of the heterog...

Online Least Squares Estimation with Self-Normalized Processes: An Application to Bandit Problems
The analysis of online least squares estimation is at the heart of many stochastic sequential decision-making problems. We employ tools from the self-normalized processes to provi...

On Dynamic Bin Packing: An Improved Lower Bound and Resource Augmentation Analysis
We study the dynamic bin packing problem introduced by Coffman, Garey and Johnson. This problem is a generalization of the bin packing problem in which items may arrive and depart...
