Online matching: A brief survey

Z Huang, ZG Tang, D Wajc - ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2024 - dl.acm.org
Matching, capturing allocation of items to unit-demand buyers, or tasks to workers, or pairs of
collaborators, is a central problem in economics. Indeed, the growing prevalence of …

The power of multiple choices in online stochastic matching

Z Huang, X Shu, S Yan - Proceedings of the 54th Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the power of multiple choices in online stochastic matching. Despite a long line of
research, existing algorithms still only consider two choices of offline neighbors for each …

Online stochastic matching, poisson arrivals, and the natural linear program

Z Huang, X Shu - Proceedings of the 53rd Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
We study the online stochastic matching problem. Consider a bipartite graph with offline
vertices on one side, and with iid online vertices on the other side. The offline vertices and …

Nearly three decades ago, Bar-Noy, Motwani and Naor showed that no online edge-coloring
algorithm can edge color a graph optimally. Indeed, their work, titled" the greedy algorithm is …

A nonparametric framework for online stochastic matching with correlated arrivals

A Aouad, W Ma - arXiv preprint arXiv:2208.02229, 2022 - arxiv.org
