Unfair metrical task systems are a generalization of online metrical task systems. In this paper we introduce new techniques to combine algorithms for unfair metrical task systems...
Traditionally, on-line problems have been studied under the assumption that there is a unique sequence of requests that must be served. This approach is common to most general mod...

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...
