We address the problem of constructing randomized online algorithms for the Metrical Task Systems (MTS) problem on a metric against an oblivious adversary. Restricting our attenti...

We consider metrical task systems, a general framework to model online problems. Borodin, Linial and Saks [BLS92] presented a deterministic work function algorithm (WFA) for metric...
Non-uniform utilization of functional units in combination with hardware mechanisms such as clock gating leads to different power consumptions in different parts of a processor ch...
A nearly logarithmic lower bound on the randomized competitive ratio for the metrical task systems problem is presented. This implies a similar lower bound for the extensively stu...
In this paper, we show that any n point metric space can be embedded into a distribution over dominating tree metrics such that the expected stretch of any edge is O(log n). This ...
