Online and dynamic algorithms for set cover

A Gupta, R Krishnaswamy, A Kumar… - Proceedings of the 49th …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
In this paper, we give new results for the set cover problem in the fully dynamic model. In this
model, the set of" active" elements to be covered changes over time. The goal is to maintain …

Online Bipartite Matching with Amortized O(log 2 n) Replacements

A Bernstein, J Holm, E Rotenberg - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2019 - dl.acm.org
In the online bipartite matching problem with replacements, all the vertices on one side of
the bipartition are given, and the vertices on the other side arrive one-by-one with all their …

Fully Dynamic Consistent k-Center Clustering

J Łącki, B Haeupler, C Grunau, R Jayaram… - Proceedings of the 2024 …, 2024 - SIAM
We study the consistent k-center clustering problem. In this problem, the goal is to maintain a
constant factor approximate k-center solution during a sequence of n point insertions and …

Maintaining assignments online: Matching, scheduling, and flows

A Gupta, A Kumar, C Stein - Proceedings of the twenty-fifth annual ACM-SIAM …, 2014 - SIAM
Consider the following edge-orientation problem: edges of a graph appear online one-by-
one and they to be directed—given an “orientation”. We want to ensure that the in-degree of …

Changing bases: Multistage optimization for matroids and matchings

A Gupta, K Talwar, U Wieder - … ICALP 2014, Copenhagen, Denmark, July 8 …, 2014 - Springer
This paper is motivated by the fact that many systems need to be maintained continually
while the underlying costs change over time. The challenge is to continually maintain near …

The power of deferral: maintaining a constant-competitive steiner tree online

A Gu, A Gupta, A Kumar - Proceedings of the forty-fifth annual ACM …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
In the online Steiner tree problem, a sequence of points is revealed one-by-one: when a
point arrives, we only have time to add a single edge connecting this point to the previous …

Controlled dynamic fair division

E Friedman, CA Psomas, S Vardi - … of the 2017 ACM Conference on …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
In the single-resource dynamic fair division framework there is a homogeneous resource
that is shared between agents dynamically arriving and departing over time. When n agents …

Dynamic Consistent k-Center Clustering with Optimal Recourse

S Forster, A Skarlatos - Proceedings of the 2025 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2025 - SIAM
Given points from an arbitrary metric space and a sequence of point updates sent by an
adversary, what is the minimum recourse per update (ie, the minimum number of changes …

Consistent k-clustering for general metrics

H Fichtenberger, S Lattanzi, A Norouzi-Fard… - Proceedings of the 2021 …, 2021 - SIAM
Given a stream of points in a metric space, is it possible to maintain a constant approximate
clustering by changing the cluster centers only a small number of times during the entire …

Robust polynomial-time approximation schemes for parallel machine scheduling with job arrivals and departures

M Skutella, J Verschae - Mathematics of Operations …, 2016 - pubsonline.informs.org
Scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan
or maximize the minimum machine load are two of the most important and fundamental …
