Reasoning about online algorithms with weighted automata
We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...

Formal Analysis of Online Algorithms
In [AKL10], we showed how viewing online algorithms as reactive systems enables the application of ideas from formal verification to the competitive analysis of online algorithms....

Regret Minimization for Online Buffering Problems Using the Weighted Majority Algorithm
Suppose a decision maker has to purchase a commodity over time with varying prices and demands. In particular, the price per unit might depend on the amount purchased and this pri...

Simpler and More General Minimization for Weighted Finite-State Automata
Previous work on minimizing weighted finite-state automata (including transducers) is limited to particular types of weights. We present efficient new minimization algorithms th...
