Approximate majorization and fair online load balancing
This paper relates the notion of fairness in online routing and load balancing to vector majorization as developed by Hardy, Littlewood, and Polya 9]. We de ne -supermajorization ...

Online Scheduling with Bounded Migration
Consider the classical online scheduling problem where jobs that arrive one by one are assigned to identical parallel machines with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We gen...

Maximizing the minimum load for selfish agents
We consider the problem of maximizing the minimum load for machines that are controlled by selfish agents, who are only interested in maximizing their own profit. Unlike the class...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...
