On the Competitive Ratio of the Random Sampling Auction
We give a simple analysis of the competitive ratio of the random sampling auction from [10]. The random sampling auction was first shown to be worst-case competitive in [9] (with ...

Laxity Helps in Broadcast Scheduling
We study the effect of laxity, or slack time, on the online scheduling of broadcasts with deadlines. The laxity of a request is defined to be the ratio between its span (differe...

Dynamic Bin Packing of Unit Fractions Items
This paper studies the dynamic bin packing problem, in which items arrive and depart at arbitrary time. We want to pack a sequence of unit fractions items (i.e., items with sizes ...

Online Bin Packing with Cardinality Constraints
We consider a one dimensional storage system where each container can store a bounded amount of capacity as well as a bounded number of items k ≥ 2. This defines the (standard)...

Semi-oblivious routing
We initiate the study of semi-oblivious routing, a relaxation of oblivious routing which is first introduced by R¨acke and led to many subsequent improvements and applications. ...

Optimal On-Line Colorings for Minimizing the Number of ADMs in Optical Networks
We consider the problem of minimizing the number of ADMs in optical networks. All previous theoretical studies of this problem dealt with the off-line case, where all the lightpat...

On the Robustness of Graham's Algorithm for Online Scheduling
While standard parallel machine scheduling is concerned with good assignments of jobs to machines, we aim to understand how the quality of an assignment is affected if the jobs’...

Online Capacitated Interval Coloring
Abstract. In the online capacitated interval coloring problem, a sequence of requests arrive online. Each of the requests is an interval Ij ⊆ {1, 2, . . . , n} with bandwidth bj....
