Competitive paging algorithms
1991
Journal of Algorithms
This paper introduces the marking algorithm, a simple randomized on-line algorithm for the paging problem, and gives a proof that its performance guarantee (competitive ratio) is O(log k). ...
In contrast, no deterministic on-line algorithm can have a performance guarantee better than k. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors thank Jorge Stolfi and an anonymous referee for many helpful suggestions. ...

Theoretical Computer Science
A randomized on-line algorithm is given for the 2-server problem on the line, with competitiveness less than 1.901 against the oblivious adversary. ...
This improves the previously best known competitiveness of 155 78 ≈ 1.987 for the problem. The algorithm uses a new approach and defines a potential in terms of isolation indices from T-theory. ...

This settles the k-server conjecture up to the competitive ratio, The best previous result for general metric spaces was a three-server randomized competitive algorithm and a nonconstructive proof that ...
a deterministic three-server competitive algorithm exists. ...
The immediate problem is that on-line algorithms are incomparable; on-line algorithm A may be better than on-line algorithm B for one sequence of events and algorithm B may be better than A for another ...

A Collection of Lower Bounds for Online Matching on the Line
[chapter]
2018
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The distance metric between any two points in R ∪ S is a line metric and the objective for the online algorithm is to minimize the sum of distances between matched server-request pairs. ...
In the online matching on the line problem, the task is to match a set of requests R online to a given set of servers S. ...
Lines show to which server each request is matched to. For a clearer representation we will often arrange servers and requests on different lines. ...

For the so-called k-server problem, the authors present two formalizations of on-line algorithms: on-line games and metrical service systems. ...
The main part of the paper deals with two new algorithms for the k-server preblem. In particular, it is proved that both algorithms are 2-competitive for k = 2. ...
