Online matching: A brief survey

Z Huang, ZG Tang, D Wajc - ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2024 - dl.acm.org
Matching, capturing allocation of items to unit-demand buyers, or tasks to workers, or pairs of
collaborators, is a central problem in economics. Indeed, the growing prevalence of …

Edge-weighted online bipartite matching

M Fahrbach, Z Huang, R Tao, M Zadimoghaddam - Journal of the ACM, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Online bipartite matching is one of the most fundamental problems in the online algorithms
literature. Karp, Vazirani, and Vazirani (STOC 1990) gave an elegant algorithm for …

[PDF][PDF] Online edge coloring is (nearly) as easy as offline

J Blikstad, O Svensson, R Vintan, D Wajc - Proceedings of the 56th …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
The classic theorem of Vizing (Diskret. Analiz.'64) asserts that any graph of maximum
degree Δ can be edge colored (offline) using no more than Δ+ 1 colors (with Δ being a trivial …

The greedy algorithm is not optimal for on-line edge coloring

A Saberi, D Wajc - 48th International Colloquium on Automata …, 2021 - drops.dagstuhl.de
Nearly three decades ago, Bar-Noy, Motwani and Naor showed that no online edge-coloring
algorithm can edge color a graph optimally. Indeed, their work, titled" the greedy algorithm is …

Streaming submodular matching meets the primal-dual method

R Levin, D Wajc - Proceedings of the 2021 ACM-SIAM Symposium on …, 2021 - SIAM
We study streaming submodular maximization subject to matching/b-matching constraints
(MSM/MSbM), and present improved upper and lower bounds for these problems. On the …

Online bipartite matching with reusable resources

S Delong, A Farhadi, R Niazadeh, B Sivan - Proceedings of the 23rd …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the classic online bipartite matching problem with a twist: offline nodes are
reusable any number of times. Every offline node i becomes available d steps after it was …
