We consider online routing algorithms for finding paths between the vertices of plane graphs. Although it has been shown in Bose et al. [4] that there exists no competitive routin...
Local ratio is a well-known paradigm for designing approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. At a very high level, a local-ratio algorithm first decomposes ...
We consider a one dimensional storage system where each container can store a bounded amount of capacity as well as a bounded number of items k ≥ 2. This defines the (standard)...
We consider an online version of the oblivious routing problem. Oblivious routing is the problem of picking a routing between each pair of nodes (or a set of ows), without knowled...

In contrast to classical offline k-k routing, the online packet routing problem allows for an arbitrary number of packets with arbitrary end points and release times. We study this...
