Online algorithms with advice: A survey

J Boyar, LM Favrholdt, C Kudahl, KS Larsen… - ACM Computing …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
In online scenarios requests arrive over time, and each request must be serviced in an
irrevocable manner before the next request arrives. Online algorithms with advice is an area …

Paging with succinct predictions

A Antoniadis, J Boyar, M Eliás… - International …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Paging is a prototypical problem in the area of online algorithms. It has also played a central
role in the development of learning-augmented algorithms. Previous work on learning …

Online algorithms with advice: a survey

J Boyar, LM Favrholdt, C Kudahl, KS Larsen… - Acm Sigact News, 2016 - dl.acm.org
Online algorithms with advice is an area of research where one attempts to measure how
much knowledge of the future is necessary to achieve a given competitive ratio. The lower …

[HTML][HTML] The online knapsack problem: Advice and randomization

HJ Böckenhauer, D Komm, R Královič… - Theoretical Computer …, 2014 - Elsevier
We study the advice complexity and the random bit complexity of the online knapsack
problem. Given a knapsack of unit capacity, and n items that arrive in successive time steps …

On the advice complexity of the k-server problem

HJ Böckenhauer, D Komm, R Královič… - … Colloquium on Automata …, 2011 - Springer
Competitive analysis is the established tool for measuring the output quality of algorithms
that work in an online environment. Recently, the model of advice complexity has been …

Online bin packing with advice

J Boyar, S Kamali, KS Larsen, A López-Ortiz - Algorithmica, 2016 - Springer
We consider the online bin packing problem under the advice complexity model where the
“online constraint” is relaxed and an algorithm receives partial information about the future …

Online graph exploration with advice

S Dobrev, R Královič, E Markou - International Colloquium on Structural …, 2012 - Springer
We study the problem of exploring an unknown undirected graph with non-negative edge
weights. Starting at a distinguished initial vertex s, an agent must visit every vertex of the …

[HTML][HTML] The string guessing problem as a method to prove lower bounds on the advice complexity

HJ Böckenhauer, J Hromkovič, D Komm, S Krug… - Theoretical Computer …, 2014 - Elsevier
The advice complexity of an online problem describes the additional information both
necessary and sufficient for online algorithms to compute solutions of a certain quality. In this …

Online minimum spanning trees with weight predictions

M Berg, J Boyar, LM Favrholdt, KS Larsen - Algorithms and Data Structures …, 2023 - Springer
We consider the minimum spanning tree problem with predictions, using the weight-arrival
model, ie, the graph is given, together with predictions for the weights of all edges. Then the …

Randomization can be as helpful as a glimpse of the future in online computation

JW Mikkelsen - arXiv preprint arXiv:1511.05886, 2015 - arxiv.org
We provide simple but surprisingly useful direct product theorems for proving lower bounds
on online algorithms with a limited amount of advice about the future. As a consequence, we …
